Earlier in 2008 I was fortunate to win a summer research scholarship at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. The Memorial has since published an article I wrote about the farm apprenticeship scheme in the April edition of their magazine, Wartime.
Bill Riley, author of Bullets for Bread, has kindly uploaded a PDF of the article on his website about British coal mining, Pitwork:

A box text on the third page of the article describes how farm apprentice Joseph McQueen, and his family, were involved in the Stanrigg Pit Disaster of 1918.
