Evacuees It is now hoped to put up a list of Evacuees in Westleigh in the last war, if you have any details please contact
Women's Land Army We may also add a list of Women's Land Army girls who worked in Westleigh Parish and notes about them please contact us
From December 1941, all unmarried women between the ages of 19
and 30 were liable to be called up for service in either the armed forces or
related war work. Many women volunteered for the Women's Land Army. Food
shortages meant the agricultural industry in Britain had to be re-vitalised.
With men away in the armed forces, the 'Land Girls' as they became known, helped
farmers produce the food Britain desperately needed. |
