Collier? edit
Does this refer to coal mining? If so, can we just use the more common "coal miner"? bd2412 T 00:07, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

- My impression was that "collier" is a somewhat archaic usage, even in the UK. It is fairly easy to find UK-based media referring to "coal miners": [1], [2], [3], bd2412 T 18:44, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
- That's less precise. Not all coal miners are colliers. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:08, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Nurses edit
Unreliabale source [4] says of Cane Hill Hospital:
"In March 1948 a patient who had climbed up onto the roof of his ward was rescued by two nurses, despite it being dark at the time. The nurses were rewarded with the Daily Herald Order of Industrial Heroism for their bravery."
