Poster for the Women’s Land Army - usually referred to as ‘Land Girls’
Why Were They Called Land Girls?
The Land Girls when known by their official name were called the WLA
(Women’s Land Army) but they are rarely known by that name. Most people
remember them as 'Land Girls’ - fresh-faced, hard working women who
served their country in agriculture in both World War I and World War 2.
The British government knew that their involvement in World War 2 was
inevitable and faced with the possibility of being isolated, they knew
that Britain would need to produce more of its own food.
That and the need to send men working on farms off to serve their
country in the military led to the reformation of the Women’s Land Army,
thereafter usually called The Land Girls in June 1939.
Lady Denham became the honorary head of the Land Girls but it was
probably the one organisation which needed little in the way of
organisation, having already worked so well in World War One.
It needs to be acknowledged that many of those who served in the Land
Girls were already farm girls or already lived out in the countryside.
Only about one third of its membership came from the cities, but they
were a significant number.
Ther job of the land girls was to slot into the jobs traditionally done by men on the farms.
The Women’s Land Army also had successful counterparts in the USA and
Australia. They were also lovingly called Land Girls there as well.
Feeding
the troops and keeping Britain supplied with enough food became a
difficult task simply because enemy forces were blocking shipping
routes, farms around the country were producing more food than ever
before and workers were needed to help plant harvest and look after
livestock, again women were depended upon to fill these roles and the
Women’s land army was born out of this necessity for farm workers.
farm working was long and hard the women worked 12 hours a day no
matter what the weather, in muddy fields but they most of the time kept
their spirits up knowing that they were doing it for their country and
for the men who were fighting for freedom.
