Women's Land Army

Members of the Women's Land Army (WLA) stacking and protecting potatoes from frost with layers of straw during the potato harvest on 28th September 1939 on farmland 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).
