WW2 Land girl with red scarf ; Tape on window: Pickering Living History 1940s World War II Wartime War Weekend, North Yorkshire, England, UK
During the World War the government established the Women's Land Army. The severe shortage of labour persuaded the government to reform the organization and by 1944 there were 80,000 women volunteers working on the land. The majority already lived in the countryside but around a third came from Britain's industrial cities. Women in the Land Army wore green jerseys, brown breeches and brown felt slouch hats. They did a variety of jobs and were involved in milking and general farmwork cutting down trees working in sawmills
