Mabel Shaw
Women's Land Army
from:Saville Town, Dewsbury
Mabel Shaw was called up in 1941. Her picture was put into the Dewsbury Reporter on March 14th 1942 with 5 other girls who had also joined up. She eventually was posted to Belvoir Castle where she met my father.
My mother had a great singing voice and won a state Amateur singing contest in 1942, she also sang for the at several concerts including "The State Theatre" in Grantham where she was top of the Bill!
I would be interested to know if anybody can recall my mother either singing or working in the WLA.
