Catherine Speirs
Land Army
My mother Catherine Speirs served in the Scottish Land Army in WW2. She was a teenager when the war started and spent the war years working in Ayrshire. I know she had many happy times and formed many friendships but found the physical farm work hard as she was a city girl and quite tiny.
She will be delighted when she hears about the medal presentation as recognition for the great effort of the Land Army girls during the war for the Nation.
