205549 Betty Maybank Women's Land Army I was stationed in the Land Army in Wales during the year of 1943. I was with a great group of girls, they were the best, we were stationed in a castle in South Wales. It was near the town of Hayes (I am not quite sure of the spelling) Our work consisted of potato picking, stacking hay and pest destruction. There was a group of Italian prisoners nearby that helped us on the land. Also nearby was an American medical army,that would meet us in a little pub in the village. They were a wonderful bunch of guys. We had lots of laughs. If anyone out there was part of this group of girls please get in touch. I still have two brothers and one sister living in England. Those years are special memories that my girls and their families want to hear about. Hope to hear from someone who was there, soon.
