About the event

The Womens Land Army
For the September HistoryFare monthly talk, we welcome guest speaker Georgina Ratcliffe.

Georgina will be giving a presentation about one of her main passions, the Womens Land Army.

As well as being passionate about the Womens Land Army, Georgina voluntarily runs the Artisans and Reenactors Market where traders come together to sell services and historical goods. She is also on the committee of the Melton Mowbray 1940s event where you may have seen here manning her Land Army dispay.

The British Women’s Land Army was first set up in January 1917 during World War One and was re-formed again in June 1939, in preparation for World War Two.

Over 200,000 Land Girls worked in the WLA from June 1939 until November 1950.

Women, known as Land Girls, replaced male farm workers who fought in the war. Coming from all backgrounds, Land Girls were critical to increasing the country’s food supply.
