Frances Taylor

Frances Taylor (nee Harvie) was a Land Army farm worker at Frances (January - 19 October 1945) and Lucindale (31 October -18 December 1945).

The Australian Women's Land Army was formed in 1942 in response to the acute shortage of rural workers. Recruits were required to be British subjects or immigrants from Allied nations and to be between 18 and 50 years of age.

Some farmers expressed initial skepticism about the prospects of farm work done by women with little experience on the land, but many Women's Land Army workers earned respect for their contributions.
