| Colliery: | Little Raith Colliery | ||
| Occupation: | Miner | ||
At the last monthly meeting of the Carnegie Hero Fund Trustees held in Dumfermline, awards were made to Andrew Cooper and Michael Clark, miners, of Cowdenbeath, who on March 21st, 1927, made strenuous efforts to release a man who had been buried by a fall of roof at Little Raith Colliery, Cowdenbeath. The rescuers twice got the man's body clear, but owing to repeated falls, and the fact that the man's feet still remained imprisoned, it was impossible to extricate him. Both Cooper and Clark were awarded an honorary certificate and a sum of £20.
