Francis "Peg" Massey

Women's Land Army

from:Reading

My mother, Peg Massey served in the Land Army during the Second World War on farms in the Berkshire area, she often tells me how hard the work was and how tough life was in general, but also she is very proud of the hard work that she and the other girls did towards the war effort, when others found excuses not to help. She recently got her badge and letter of recognition, and also will be going to the reception at the Agricultural College at Burchets Green near Maidenhead in March.

Only last week she told me of a Jewish girl she was working with on one of the farms who lent her a lovely dress, as she did not have anything nice to wear of her own, to meet my Father after 3 years being away in the Navy. She still remembers the style and pattern of the dress with fondness, and of course the lovely girl that lent it to her.
