210429 Margaret Irene Hannah Ashton Woman's Land Army from:Cwmparc, Rhondda, Glamorgan, Wales Margaret Ashton, my mother, served in South Wales with her friend. They decided that they would like a change of area and so, applied for a transfer. The friend said she didn't want to go too far away, so they asked for a transfer to Herefordshire. When the transfer was made, they were sent to Hertfordshire - it must have been a case of mistaken handwriting as the two counties have just one letter difference! They went to Hertfordshire and my mother ended up working for/with the person who eventually became her father-in-law. She met my father when he returned home from service in the Middle East. If the handwriting hadn't been mis-read, I may never have been born!
