Mary Gilbert

Womens Land Army

from:Liverpool

I arrived in Penzance in the May of 1943 with my good friend Doris Jones and was taken to Collurian Farm near St Earth where we assisted the family of Tregarthen. I was based there for six weeks and then moved on to Binerton Manor Farm to the Giles family where I stayed approximately six months.

From there I moved onto Kennegy Manor (hostel) where I stayed from January 44 until April 46 and made good friends with Alice Finnegan from Bradford, Edna Fuller from Liverpool, Elsie from Newcastle and quite a few others. After the war I returned to my home town of Liverpool to work as a clerk again. I married a Cornishman, Jack Gilbert, from Porthleven so retuned to Cornwall to live in Camborne in 1949.
