Pontllanfraith schoolboys swap their books for buckets for the war effort at Bassaleg Harvest Camp. Potato picking and corn stooking are the main tasks, with some help from the Land Girls. There’s ploughing, too, with tractors and horses under skies ploughed by warplanes. It’s hungry work, and the cornish pasties devoured in the field are as welcome as the supper and hot showers back at base.
