| Description | The initiative to involve German students came from German Supply Department of the Foreign Office. The scheme included male, female, and disabled students, visiting camps in Middlesex, Oxfordshire, Lincolnshire, Essex and Wiltshire to assist with agricultural and harvest work. Campers were expected to do at least 36 hours of work each week. By the intervention of the GER University and High School Students from the British, American and French Zones of Germany were able to attend. Clothing was supplied, with water proofs coming from the War Office, and clothing and shoes from private sources. In 1954 the Ministry of Agriculture took the decision not to run future camps. From the 1955 season some camps taken over by National Farmer's Union or private wardens. In 1958 the GER made the decision not to repeat the Harvest scheme. |
