Like many other farmin- establishments in the Homeland, work on the Royal Estate at Sandringham is being taken over by women, in order to release men for the army. The King s cattle at Sandringham are nowbeing well cared for by three London ladies-Mies Marjorie Maxfield, Miss Hilda Hobson, and Miss Phyllis Hobson. Anxious to perform some useful service for their country, these ladies took up farming some months ago. Their work on the Royal Estate is of an arduous nature. Commencing at 6 a.m., they do not finish until dark each day, Sundays included. Ihe cattle and their housing are models of cleanliness, and the King;, during hia recent visit to Sandringham, personally congratulated the ladies on their service*- __ (.Photos by Central News.)
