In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a determined Land Army girl fearlessly maneuvering a tractor down a steep slope, hauling two colossal tree trunks behind her. Her unwavering focus is evident as she expertly navigates the challenging terrain with precision and skill. As she carries out this vital task, another Land Army girl stands nearby, clutching an axe firmly in her hands. With keen interest and admiration, she observes her colleague's impressive display of strength and determination. Together, these resilient women demonstrate their invaluable contribution to the war effort through their involvement in agricultural work.
