100053 Patricia "Patsy" Robinson Women's Land Army My mother, Patricia Robinson, worked in the Ministry of Aircraft Production early in the Second War, but her mother thought it too dangerous for a young girl(she was 17 when war broke out)to work in London and told her to look for a safer job. Mum joined the Women's Land Army and used to tell us of her exploits driving Fordson Tractors and ditching, hedging and ploughing. Unfortunately she now suffers from Alzheimers and now cannot recall much about where she was posted and who were her workmates or friends at the time. She used to recall that there were Italian prisoners of war on the farm as well. If anyone remembers Patricia Robinson in her Land Army days we would love to hear from you. She is now Patricia Blake and lives in a nursing home in Brisbane, Australia.
