Serving Their Country

1916 , Willingale (Essex)

Cat no. 762

A newsreel story highlighting the need for women and horses in wartime work on the land.

Women land workers are at work in the fields, wearing long dresses and bonnets. One of them sharpens a bagging hook, and a group clear weeds and undergrowth from the edge of a field. They hoe between rows of potatoes. The horse mentioned in the intertitle, wounded at the Battle of Loos, is watered at a stone trough in the farmyard and then ridden side-saddle back to work. The final scene shows one of the land women feeding the piglets in the farmyard. Hens are also running around.
