Women's Land Army
Members of the Women's Land Army (WLA) at work harvesting bushels of oats on 2nd August 1940 on farmland at Usk in Monmouthshire, South Wales, United Kingdom. The Women's Land Army was established to meet the demand for agricultural labour caused by the absence of male farm workers on active service and the need to boost domestic food production in the face of the reduction in imports due to Nazi Germany's attacks on shipping. Over 80,000 women volunteered for the Women's Land Army. (Photo by Maeers/Fox Photos/Hulton Archive/Getty Images).
