Land Army Girl

30/09/2008

Prestbury Beaumont resident and former land girl Joyce Goodhind, 85, has gained recognition from the government for her work on a farm in York as part of the war effort.

Prestbury Beaumont Care Community resident Joyce has been awarded a special badge, which she can proudly wear during ceremonial occasions such as Remembrance Sunday.

Joyce said that all the reward she needed at the time was a "well done" from her boss, adding: "But I do keep walking around the home with the medal on my neck, admiring it as I go!"

Joyce continued: "I do feel proud of all the hard work we put in during the war."
