         Levant Mine 1919 (1)

Funeral cards were not the only written documents which commemorate. When a well known person died or there was a disaster it was not unknown for a brief pamphlet to be printed. The Levant Mine disaster of 1919  resulted in a 4 page pamphlet which contained a poem and the names and addresses of the 31 Cornish miners who lost their lives. The picture shows the front & back pages.
