Dee Posted 3 December , 2003 Posted 3 December , 2003 This may seem like a very strange request (or perhaps not). My gran was in the Women's Land Army during WW1 (at least that's what I think it was called). How do I find out more about this as I cannot find any links to any relevant sites using a web search? My father has a fantastic copy of my gran in uniform at the age of 18-19 and I would really love to know more, especially as I now have details of my granddad. Can anyone point me in the right direction??
salientpoints Posted 3 December , 2003 Posted 3 December , 2003 You should visit the IWM - their current temporary special exhibition is "Women At War". Here is a programme link - http://www.iwm.org.uk/education/edu-lam/ge...rog20030625.pdf and http://www.iwm.org.uk/women/intro.htm Ryan

Dee Posted 3 December , 2003 Author Posted 3 December , 2003 Hi Ryan Thanks for that, looks fantastic but don't think I will be able to make it with the hours i'm working for the next 6-8 months. Dee
HERITAGE PLUS Posted 3 December , 2003 Posted 3 December , 2003 Dee This may be nearer to you. There is a WLA display in Hut 8 at Eden Camp. http://www.edencamp.co.uk/map.htm Dave
