Rita May Field

Land Army

I live on a sheltered housing scheme and recently got to know Rita Knight....nee Rita May Field. She was born in Sydenham in 1927 and joined the Women's Land Army as soon as she was eligible. I have a particular interest in recording the memories of these gallant older ladies who served our country during wartime. Rita gave me a list of some of the women she remembered serving with. They are: John Bagley, Olive Brown, Sheila Catcheside, Doris Chamberlain, Mary Coldham, Emily le Berre, Ella Olinski, Ethel Quin, Doreen(Rusty)Reynolds, Vera Robbins, Tina Robinson, Marian Smith, Clifford Walters, and Audrey Washington. Rita was stationed in Worcester and stayed in a hostel, not on a farm, towards the end of the war (1944-45 or thereabouts.) The area she served in was known as The Tything. She would love to hear from anyone who served with her.
