Most reminiscences by Land Girls dwell nostalgically on the pleasures of the time. The author's experiences in Cornwall are of a gang of city girls set in unpleasant jobs by suspicious and unfriendly farmers, but determined not to be downtrodden.
Back-breaking days of lifting potatoes; excruciating hours of pulling thistles; total inadequacy when faced with a group of belligerent sows - these are the stories that Pat Peters recalls. The language is strong: ''Get the ''ell away. What do ''ee think you''re playing at. Bloody Land girls.'' He looked straight at me. ''Get the ''ell out of ''ere before the sows drop their young ''uns.'' The girls felt that they were being shunted around like cattle and in the end rebelled at their treatment. Some of the members left the service and returned to city life. Others, like Pat, who became a farmer''s wife in Cornwall, stayed in the countryside for the rest of their lives.
