Using timber which is of no use for war production, a game of Land Army girls at Bywell
Using timber which is of no use for war production, a game of Land Army girls at Bywell near Newcastle Upon Tyne are supplying wood to keep the home fires burning.
Using a mobile sawmill, they cut up an average of four tons of, tree trunks every day, collected from the woods, where lumberjacks have been working.
Three of the girls carry the trees to the mill and another two put then into the sawmill.
The saw rotates at great speed, and the heavy timber is not as easy to handle as it looks when being made into suitable size to kindle the fires in the homes of Tyneside and district.
Picture shows: Pauline Lumsden, aged 19 on right, former nursemaid and Joyce Forman, age 17, operating the sawmill.
