"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.

Others made the most of the dances and the visiting Yanks.
