Mother is so busy on the farm that six-month-old baby Betty goes ploughing too
Mother is so busy on the farm that six-month-old baby Betty goes ploughing too.
Fellow workers on a Glamorgan farm helped Mrs.Wyatt to sling Bettys cradle securely and while mother guides the tractor, baby sleeps.
Bettys appetite is enormous, a wail from there cradle is the signal for meal time and ploughing stops while she has her bottle.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1940s, a time when women played an integral role on the home front during World War II. The image captures the indomitable spirit of Mrs. Wyatt, a hardworking mother who is so dedicated to her farm duties that even her six-month-old baby Betty joins in on the action. Surrounded by fellow workers on their Glamorgan farm, Mrs. Wyatt skillfully secures Betty's cradle onto a tractor as she guides it through the fields. Despite being just an infant, Betty sleeps peacefully in her improvised mobile crib while her mother tends to the ploughing tasks at hand. But don't be fooled by little Betty's innocent slumber; she possesses an enormous appetite that cannot go unnoticed for long. A mere wail from her cradle serves as a signal for mealtime and brings all ploughing activities to a halt while she enjoys her bottle. This heartwarming scene showcases not only Mrs. Wyatt's determination and resourcefulness but also highlights the challenges faced by working mothers during wartime. It exemplifies how women stepped up to fill crucial roles traditionally held by men and managed both their professional responsibilities and parenthood with unwavering strength. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us remember and honor all those resilient women who made invaluable contributions on farms like these across rural landscapes during one of history's most challenging periods - World War II.
