Description
Letter from Pumpherston Oil Company Limited (Pumpherston Refinery) as reference for Thomas Hardie stating he was employed from June 1939 to August 1941 and from March 1946 to March 1961.
From August 1941 to March 1946 he served in the Royal Navy. Dated 30th March 1961 and signed J. McCallum, Chief Chemist (Deputy Manager).
Letter was donated by Charles Hardie, son of Thomas Millar Hardie and Mary Hardie, the subjects of the photographs and documents in this collection of objects. Thomas Millar Hardie worked at Pumpherston Works from 1939-1941 when he left to join the Royal Navy during WWII. He then returned to work at Pumpherston from 1946 to 1961 when he left due to ill health. He then took the shale oil company to court blaming his work for the company in the paraffin sheds as the cause for his skin complaints and his need to stop working there. A Medical Tribunal was held, but Mr Hardie lost his case.
