Bevin (or Bevan) Boys were young men who worked "in the pit" instead of serving in the armed forces as coal mining was an important "reserved occupation". The Bevin Boy scheme was set up by Ernest Bevin, the wartime Minister of Labour. Although the Bevin Boy scheme had ended by 1951, "National Service" or the 'call-up' finally came to a halt on 31 December 1960 and the very last National servicemen left the Army in 1963.
