In Down to Earth, Nancy Cooper gives us a glimpse into the real
life of a seventeen year old young woman who is recruited into the
Women’s Land Army in 1943. It is a big change from her life at
Old Hill in the Black Country, and a welcome escape from the
secretarial training that she was desperate to avoid. She soon
found herself living alone, far from home and working on several
farms. She managed to milk 30 cows, working alone, as she did her
part in providing the country with enough food in the shortages
both during and after WWII. At one farm she cared for a yard full
of pigs, who cunningly tried to outwit her attempts to share their
food out. Dealing with unfairly jealous wives, strange billeting
arrangements with a nocturnal visitor and rats everywhere were also
ways in which Nancy’s resourcefulness was tested. There is now a
memorial to honour the work of the Women’s Land Army at the
National Arboretum in Staffordshire. If you go to see it you will
notice that the rats have got in on this as well!
