wmfinch Posted 2 January , 2022 Share Posted 2 January , 2022 Hello All, I found this photograph of a Womens Forestry Service Cap/Hat Badge on the IWM website and wonder if it is the only surviving example? My Grandmother Nellie Wright was a member of the service and her photograph shows her wearing the same badge. V/R Wayne Finch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must have been photographs of my other grandmother (who worked at Woolwich Arsenal) but they went to another part of the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Women kept the UK going during WW1 with so many roles to play 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My maternal grandmother worked in munitions in the North-East of England during the Great War and I have a great admiration for all the women that stepped up to do their bit for the war effort. Bless 'em all. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
