Land Army information
« on: Thursday 29 February 24 10:27 GMT (UK) »
I've gone back to verifying the details of my husband's Henderson line and have found out that his paternal grandmother was in the land army but cannot find any further details than what I believe is her discharge card.

She was Dorothy Thirza Kendrick and was born 28 Nov 1908.
The card shows that she was living at 6 Field Road, Forest Gate .
The start of employment is 29th Dec 1941 and end of employment 31 Aug 1942, I think the reason given is invalid mother.

Is anyone able to help me in finding out any more details about her time in the Land Army

Thank you
