Badge ceremony for Land Girls
Former members of the Women’s Land Army and Women’s Timber Corps will receive their long-awaited badge of honour at a ceremony at No.10 Downing Street on 23 July.
Around fifty Land Girls from across the country will represent their former colleagues where they will meet the Prime Minister and Environment Secretary Hilary Benn, and be presented with their badges.
Land Girls across the country will then be sent their badge and a certificate in the following weeks, and events will then be held in every region around the country to celebrate this formal recognition of the Women’s Land Army’s role in the war effort.
Over 29,000 applications for the badge have so far been received.
