Land girls in action
| Members of the Women's Land Army - or 'land girls', as they
were generally called - worked on farms during both world wars,
replacing men who went off to fight. Their tasks were often hard
and dirty, and they worked long hours, looking after animals, ploughing
fields, and harvesting crops. The photographs reproduced here show
land girls in action, milking a cow and operating a threshing machine.
