When Townies Rebuilt the Countryside

Episode 33 - The Women's Land Army and Prisoners of War. As the wartime plough-up campaigns got underway farms needed more labour for their operations, but with men drafted into the military, women joined the WLA to pick up the slack. But these women were not the only group of people who found themselves in British villages during war - American soldiers were stationed around the country before being sent to the continent, and Prisoners of War arrived as the war dragged on. All these different groups got on very well and shared their homes and cultures, but evacuees from the big cities did not integrate in the same way. 0:00 - Intro 0:25 - Rural Women 2:23 - Labourers 3:18 - The Land Army 843 - Americans! 9:14 - POWs 14:46 - Wartime community 15:48 - 'The Foreigner' Media Used: EMOHA interviews with Dorothy Nettleton, Mary Williamson, Elizabeth Taylor, Rose Gladys Green, Kenneth Barnett, Albert Crookes, George Ball British Council Films: 'Wales', 'An English Town', 'A Lowland Village', 'Power on the Land'
