Iris Grace "Grid" Nickson

Womens Land Army

from:Lupset, Wakefield

Iris Nickson is my mother, I have no details of her service with the Land Army. She must have been in her teens during the war. She once told me about hoeing turnips. The farmer put out lots of hoes for the girls to use, and the girls all chose the new ones. They all suffered from terrible blisters on their hands from the rough wooden handles. They would have been much better off if they had chosen the older, well worn tools. She had no agricultural experience and must have served for a very short time. I would love any news of any kind.
