A land girl's tale : concentrating on winning the war

McLeod, Mona2017
Books, Manuscripts
Mona Macleod worked in Kirkcudbrightshire during the Second World War, providing the skilled labour needed on farms before mechanisation. The girls were given heavy agricultural work in fields, with animals, carrying hundred weight sacks, sawing wood, felling trees, filling up rat holes. It was a tough way to grow up, but this illustrated memoir provides a record of a time when women faced the rigorous physical challenges involved in winning the war at home.
