The Women's Land Army (WLA) had its origins in the First World War and was reconstituted in 1939 to help maintain Britain's food supplies. At its peak in 1944 it had around 80,000 members, whose 'selfless service' was belatedly recognised in 2008 with a badge presented to those who were still alive.
This talk by local historian Cynthia Brown will focus on Leicestershire and Rutland to ask who these women were, and how they adapted to work which few of them had done before, drawing on oral histories to illustrate their experiences and how they felt about them.
