This one is of historical interest, a digital restoration of an end print group of three land girls circa March 1942. The middle one is my wife's mother Betty Lowe who had vivid memories of WW2 and the Land Army. She was working on a farm near Scarborough from 1942 till the end of 1944. The location is as accurate as I can make it; she had told us once as she drove down the A170 that the farm worked on was there, not far from the road.
