Service Record Book of Veteran Employees In The Service of The Fife Coal Company Ltd
August 1945

Foreward
This book has been prepared for the purpose of providing an interesting record of those still in our employment who attained the age of sixty-five on or before the 15th August, 1945, and have worked with us for 40 years or more. The Personnel Department have been at great pains to secure accuracy, and it is hoped that they have succeeded in collecting correct information.
In the middle of the book will be found a few facts and anecdotes touching upon events and personalities of a date before 1906, after which any incidents of note may be within the recollection of readers.
To all whose service is recorded in this book I send greetings and good wishes, and my hope is that the other "Old Timers " will find this record as interesting to them as it is to myself.
Charles Augustus Carlow, Chairman and Managing Director, Leven, 11th March, 1946.
