Who were the Bevan Boys?
the kids of a famous cricketerAnswerI'm thinking you mean the Bevin Boys, men conscripted, with some volunteers, to work in the coal mines during the second world war to boost coal production which had flagged as many miners had earlier been conscripted into the army. This was overseen by then Minister for Labour Ernest Bevin, as opposed to Nye Bevan, the son of Welsh coal miners who as Minister of Health in the post-war Atlee government established the National Health Service.
