Betty Joan Lowe
Womens Land Army
from:Barnsley, Yorkshire
Betty Joan Lowe was born December 1923 in Barnsley, Yorkshire. She married John Mulart Smith after WW2 and had 3 children Wendy, Martin and Claire.
Betty served in the Land Army in Scarborough, Yorkshire. I have attached a couple of photos you may find interesting, unfortunately she is not around any more. She did come and visit us here in New Zealand under her own steam when she was 86. Despite her advancing dementia, during her visit she told me quite a bit about the Land Army, seems the old memories came to the surface more. She worked on a farm in Scarborough despite her 4ft 11 frame for 3.5 years she said. The two other girls in the photo remain unknown.
