Lilies on the Land

You had to be there to know. We lived it. The Forgotten Army. I'd do it all again.

To mark 80 years since the formation of the Women’s Land Army, Lilies on the Land charts the personal journeys of four women who sign up during World War II.  All are determined to work endless back-breaking hours on farms across the country in a bid to do their best for the war effort
