Children's Harvest Camps | Wartime Farm EP6 | Absolute History

[@geoffreystyles6783]

I was born in Romford, Essex in 1929. I attended three harvest camps. The first was in Great Bentley, Essex. The second was close to Towcester, Northants. My third and last one was close to Blagdon, Somerset. Great Bentley was the location of Hall Farm. We were housed under canvas or in Nissan huts and to be honest, it was a great adventure. Yes, we worked 5-1/2 days weekly but we were well fed, as kids we slept well, and we were paid. We also learned that farming is hard work! I have never forgotten those weeks in the country. High school had never been so much fun.

[@jclark2752]

Ruth is so brilliant in these. Her enthusiasm is so contagious! She’s always game, no complaints! A perfect example of choosing a cast for their quality and not for pointless aesthetics! Mind you, Eve is always a welcome surprise… Just Lovely!

[@Azazagoth]

I’m sure the ladies don’t mind watching our boys at work. But I agree, Ruth’s beauty shines from within and eve is such a natural beauty. No crass makeup or arrogant attitude even though she smarter than most of her generation.

This is the third Historic Farm series I'm watching. I've taught WWII history, yet this series has taught me far more than I ever taught my students about the daily life of everyday people. These series are the best documentaries I've ever seen. I hit 'like' before I even start watching because I know it's going to be fantastic.

[@ritageorge8748]

Loved your comments-I'm glad to say most of the history(repeated facts🙄 yrs by old women in my family)I remember was pretty close to accurate-I guess if you live through the plague of war you are less likely to boast or talk much as most men of 3generations of mine let their women'do history' long winded anyway😉

[@ScratchthechalkBoard]

I taught European History as well and used portions of this series in the curriculum because the way it's presented it doesn't immediately feel like a documentary so the students enjoyed it

The flour sacks made in reusable materials was used up until the 1970s in the states ,we used to get wash clothes off of 5lb sacks and towels off of 25lb sacks the sacks themselves were made of linen so that they could be used to make underclothes , jacket or Pocket linings , the ability to patch or make clothes was a good reason to buy certain brands of flour, cornmeal or sugar as the package was the ultimate recycling there was literally nothing for the trash bin ! The modern generation needs to look a little bit backwards to the past to make their products packaging and cut down on waste .

Yeah, whose idea was all that plastic packaging anyway?

[@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131]

Hi Robert ! I'm born 1962 in Norway, and I think the two decades following WW2 were all about "forwards and outwards". It seems to me that everyone was focusing on rebuilding, practical new inventions for everyday life, and exploring foreign places for vacations. (At least in Europe). People were possibly so traumatized and exhausted by wartime that they put a mental lid on it. So school books did not focus on wartime hardship, but on the celebrations as the war ended. And on some of the homefront heroes who had plottet against the enemy on the home turf. It's sad, but people under 50 know little to nothing about the first 70 years of the 20th century. As for WW2, they probably think it was lived in black and white.... 😞😶

[@0623kaboom]

and thats where the saying ... the victors write the history ... comes in ... the victors will write about what matters to THEM not to others who may have helped ... so from an american point of view of history ... Canadians served and fought some battles ... but we took on the suicide beach on d day to hold the germans in place to allow the usa to get their beach ... they dont say we took the first beach ... the one hardest to take ... and then had nothing left to do ... WWI the crazy ladies of the higlanders ... and their babgpipes and charge in full kilt ... overwhelming a long held enemy position ... even in britain their homeland forces had major contributions from german sub landings for intel ... to downed aircraft and pilots ... etc ... yet one countries history book doesnt focus on that ... just what they did ... one day we may have a history book that covers the history of the earth and bringing all different views of history together to show the actual history for ALL of US

Flower Sacks - I remember in the 60's the 100lb bags of Chicken feed coming in printed bags that my mother would save to make clothing with. New shirt or blouse for us kids pillowcases. The one problem was you get a 100lb sake of feed one month and the next month the print pattern would be different.

[@snazzypazzy]

The practice started in the Great Depression era, first the bags would be plain. Once the companies noticed that the bags were re-used they started using printed fabric.

[@veramae4098]

The alternatives were dreadful. That might be too high a price.

[@dogslobbergardens6606]

If you think Brits had it rough and pulled together amazingly, you should do some reading on the Russians in Stalingrad and Leningrad, and a great many people in Eastern Europe. The blitz on the UK was horrendous, no doubt about that. But it paled in comparison to the wholescale suffering and slaughter in the USSR. China lost more people than any other country except possibly the USSR during WW2, and westerners seldom even acknowledge their horrifying losses. In even starker contrast, people in America thought/think they had it rough because they had to ration a few things. Us "Yanks" generally have no idea at all how truly awful war really is.

Our son and daughter-in-law live in the Palouse in Eastern Washington. Our daughter-in-lawn grew up on ranches in Eastern Washington and the Idaho panhandle. Our son is a retired mechanical engineer.

The Palouse is known for growing wheat, other grain crops. It also grows legumes and more lentils than any other area of the US.

My Grandmother was one of the children evacuated during the war. She was sent to live with relatives who had a farm. & she told me how near where the farm where the Americans had set up an air base. They had a problem with the local grass snakes who use to love to sun themselves on the runway. Making it difficult for the planes to land safely. So the airmen would 'pay' the local children like my Grandmother. With chewing gum, chocolate, Spam & caned pineapple. To catch the snakes to 'permanently take them away' ie: to take them to the river in sacks & drown them. Of course what the children actual did was take them 5 miles down the road & set them loose in the nearby fields. & two weeks later the airbase had another snake infestation. & the local children would be recruited. By the airmen to once more to 'permanently dispose' of the snakes.

They never did practice segregation. As you can see her case was an isolated case of the women's farming union not accepting her while in America it will probably be written into law that she is not to work with white people. And as you can see, the farmers did accept her. It didn't change with the Americans GIs coming, in fact the Back American GIs where probably shocked that they were accepted because back in their country, they wouldn't be. There is racism in Britain but it was no where near America.

[@bigjake2061]

Segregation by law was not everywhere in the USA. In the South it was coded into law. In the north it would have been more like the social stigma around Amelia King but different in that local government may or may not have been an active participant in the bigotry.

Cosmetics were in short supply in Britain, but in the USA, they weren't. As in Britain, this was part of maintaining morale. To conserve metal, people had to turn in the empty metal containers for reuse, in order to buy new ones. My grandparents, in Canada, had to turn in empty toothpaste tubes, to buy new toothpaste. Aluminum curlers were popular in the 1930s, but in WWII, they were replaced by pincurl-sets, secured with hairpins, which used less metal than curlers. Women bought their own personal pin-packs, which they brought with them to the salon each time.

[@sleekoduck]

People used barometers for the weather until the late 1970s because weather reports were notoriously unreliable. I'm not sure about the UK, but in the States, farmers had a lot of folk tricks like cloud patterns and lunar cycles that helped back in the ancient days during WW2.

It’s truly amazing to see what the general rural public went through during WW2, and contrasting that with our current behavior in 2020. Years of giving absolutely everything you have, growing food for the government, doing the best you can at risk of being thrown out of your own property, and now some of us can’t be bothered to wear a mask in public and stay home/away from people to protect others. It’s quite disappointing, to be honest. Maybe it’s just a British versus American thing, and Americans weren’t as collectively engaged at the time, I don’t know. “Rugged individualism” versus doing the absolute bare minimum necessary “for the greater good”.

[@ThatClassic70sGirl]

It's not that we don't believe in "rugged individualism," or doing things for the greater good. But after having major elections stolen; and witnessing so much self-contradictory information in the news--and now v@xx mandates being forced on us, we are greatly concerned about losing the individual and religious liberties which (ironically) we had originally resisted and fought the British to gain.

Massey Harris was a Canadian farm machinery manufacturer owned by the Massey family, also notable as patrons of the arts and letters. Two brothers Vincent and Raymond were also somewhat famous; Vincent as Canadian High Comissioner to England during the war and Raymond as an actor in such notable films as "Things To Come", 1936. "Prisoner Of Zenda", 1937, "49th Parallel", 1941, "Action In The North Atlantic", 1943. Vincent would have appeared frequently in the newsreels and the cinema would have been featuring Raymond's films.

The english certainly are a crafty bunch. Its really impressive how much they achieved with such little

The little girl in the brown dress goes, "MORE" is really cute.

thanks

[@davidvonbrawn4904]

a lot of British had small victory gardens of their own. I used to take care of a German ladies flowers and house when her and her husband went on vacation. She said a British soldier pulled the head off her doll. Towards the end end of the war. I suppose people even hated the children of the enemy.

Ruth cleaned up pretty nice

They should have used straw bales for the floor, covered with boards. That would be properly warm. A bale roof would also mean, with proper tightness, a winter hired-hand house. So that’s the flour sack material, Mom talked about! That’s very nice! Hahahah, I bust out laughing at the dance! So that’s the “JIVE”. Whoohooo, naughty!!! They must have had so much fun. As long as mother’s and father’s didn’t attend, they’d really enjoy that.

I've been obsessively watching these, especially the farming ones of late. And now a lot of my KZbin ads concern (VERY modern) farm machinery and services. It's hilarious, really. Um, no, much as I'd love a bit of land and a horse or two one day, perhaps some chickens or goats (and let us not forget the bees), I'm not really in a position to want an immense harvester just now, thanks.

with the broad leaf plants you want to dry why couldnt you use the stem on a liine and just tie it on with a little coil of thread .. then the stem holds it up and air gets at both sides ... when it starts to get brittle then place it on a shelf with twigs to make a raised platform to keep air flow ....

[@ritageorge8748]

Drying a lot of things that way-Keeps reds&pinks-semi ok

Your created playlist is out of order. It currently autoplays E8 before 6+7. Can you please rearrange it?

[@Galfco99]

i love your channel and your content especially since when trying to purchase for these series for the US i learned the DVDs would not be compatible. This one isn't too bad but some of the episodes sound mixing makes many of the dialog inaudible. Keep up the good work!

[@baldevis]

Get an internationally compatible DVD player. You can use all sorts of fascinating discs from Britain, Europe, Asia, etc. I wouldn't be without one.

[@ThatClassic70sGirl]

Are they programmed with DRM? 🤔

[@femininityfaith7920]

Love love love!!!!!

[@shannonbritton5313]

Is this many ads truly necessary? I know you need income to have a channel, but dang. If you search for these videos, we can watch them without any ads on other channels and I hate to do that because I love absolute history

[@kaysenkowskisprader]

You can scroll to the end of the video, and then hit restart. No ads.

[@bluef1sh926]

Ublock will be very usefull here, or KZbin Vanced for android

[@ShannaCarlson525]

Use adblock pro or ublock on a browser. I haven't seen an ad in years.

[@tomturelur9191]

adguard is recommended, too...

[@mchristian2142]

Youre hella entitled if you're that bothered by the ads. Give them the money they deserve and quit being so impatient.

The problem with child labor wasn't that work is bad for children, it was the unsafe working conditions in factories that maimed and killed children that was the problem. It was when they were overworked for long hours that they got tired and they became sloppy and accidents happened. Nowadays if someone asks a kid to do a chore the kid complains and mentions child labor laws. If you weren't asked to crawl into a 30 ton machine, while it was running, to sweep up debris, for 10 hours with only one 15 minute break a day, then you have no valid reason to complain. It is no wonder this generation hates real work, they think any amount of physical work is dangerous, which is simply not true.

[@sukivverh5789]

who downvotes and why ? great video

[@00_rei90]

nobody downvotes the video

[@DawnCampbell-dk3vx]

As much as I love these series this one really brings home how the government can take over it's citizen's rights whenever they go into a war and they NEVER give you that freedom back. If you don't agree you are the problem. The farmer they killed because he knew enough to not plant crops in a swamp is a great example. I'm at a point where I really believe that if a leader of a country starts a war without an invasion in their country they should be charged with treason and executed. Their job is to stop this from happening in the first place not to encourage and profit from it. Churchill was born rich and constantly lived beyond his means but made loads of money out of his position during the war and it's the same with other leaders. Churchill wanted war and did everything he could to drag the US into the war as well. So many dead but the politicians and their rich buddies made out like bandits.
