Dianne Bardsley, author of 'The Land Girls: In a Man's World, 1939-1946' discusses the vital role women played on home soil while the men were on the front line. Glenburn station had two land girls during World War II. Current owner Helen Mcfazean tells us the story of those who rolled up their sleeves and did their bit for the war effort at an isolated Wairarapa station.
