Further information: Mr Caulton had an accident on 17 November 1948 followed by an operation to treat a hernia. According to a letter from the NUM, he returned to 'light work' on 13 May 1949. The Medical Board decided he was fit to follow his regular occupation, and he appealed against the decision of 18 May 1949. The grounds for appeal were that 'I do not feel fit for the coal face, so soon after the operation'. A letter of 21 June 1949 refers to not yet having received notification of the hearing. There is also a letter dated 29th June 1949 requesting that Caulton obtains a report from his doctor. There is no record of the hearing or the decision it reached. |
