Land Girls Gang Up - Hardcover
"How many, like myself, had volunteered to join the WLA simply because they loved the countryside and had romantic visions of milking a cow?" Pat Peters and her Land Girl comrades worked as hard as any man, clearing stones, pulling thistles and cutting broccoli on freezing cold mornings. For this gang of high-spirited young London girls, suddenly transported to rural Cornwall, it was the unending potato harvest that they most disliked. Once boredom set in they looked for ways to avoid work, hiding in the corn crop plucking their eyebrows, writing letters or even darning socks. Some of the girls rebelled and returned to city life. Others made the most of the dances and the visiting Yanks.
