Girls of the Womens Land Army thatching in a field.
This is a sewing machine which turns out yards of thatch in a few minutes. Three girls can thatch a stack in four hours after one or two lessons. The same job would take a skilled thatcher more than a full day by older methods.

Girls of the Women's Land Army Revolutionize Thatching with Modern Technology
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this black-and-white print from the 1940s, we witness a remarkable transformation in agricultural practices during the Second World War. A group of determined young women from the Women's Land Army can be seen skillfully thatching a field using an innovative sewing machine. This incredible contraption has revolutionized their work, enabling them to produce yards of thatch within minutes. Gone are the days when thatching was considered a laborious and time-consuming task. With just one or two lessons, these resourceful girls have mastered this new technique and can now complete stacking in merely four hours – a feat that would have taken an experienced thatcher more than a full day using traditional methods. This image captures not only their dedication but also highlights how women played an indispensable role on the home front during times of conflict. As part of the Women's Land Army, they bravely stepped into traditionally male-dominated roles to ensure food security for their nation amidst war. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of how technology and determination can reshape industries even in times of adversity. These resilient women exemplify strength, resilience, and adaptability as they contribute to both their country's wartime efforts and societal progress at large. Courtesy: Memory Lane Prints
