"The Womens Land Army" WW2 I worked on the farms and the fields,I met my husaband there he was American stationed at "North Withum" I live in Bethlehem.Pa. and go back to England to visit family. I was in Corby when all the church bells in England rang "The war is over". We all went down to the Wheatsheaf to celebrate.Now it is all memories for me they can make you cry, but best of all they can make you smile
