farm for the duration of the war, or were they posted to various places?
Were there many large farms such as one I've read about at RAF Topcliffe, or
did the majority go to private farms? Finally - were they expected to help
with any domestic tasks such as preserving, making butter, etc, or did they
work strictly as outdoor farm labourers?
