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.

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.
