Not only did they till the land, man the factories, deliver the Spitfires to the airfields, they also skippered the narrowboats! They had the initials I.W. [Inland Waterways] on the overalls they were issued with and some wag christened them the Idle Women!
Weaker sex? I think not!

I find these posts very interesting, my mother who is still with us but in a home was conscripted into the Fire Service for the biggest part of the War - can you imagine what they had to deal with.

All we do is go fishing.

Izzy is doing a topic at school on the women's land army ,it wouldn't hurt every single mother and benefits cheats to study what these women did for there country

[mark2459]

not every single mother joff, alot of mothers have family in the army, navy and raf,these mothers have served there time with the worry of loosing a loved one, whilst serving there country, its just the lazy ones that may want to take a look, and a lot of dads
