Description
In brief, the document states that May Jones opted to join the land army working in the forestry at Cynwyd when the second World War broke out. Her salary was enough to pay for her keep, plus 5 shillings pocket money. Their uniform protected them as they worked outside in all weathers. Often they sawed logs to serve as pit-props in the mines, and worked from 8.00am until 4.30pm. They would also open ditches, and plant saplings. May Jones continued to work as a land army girl until she was expecting a child after her marriage to William Jones from Talsarnau, and often looks back at this period in her life with affection.
