Description

Summary: brooch, Women's Voluntary Service, Civil defence pattern, about 1940

Identification note: As so many men were away fighting, women took on new roles. ‘Land Girls’, who worked in the Women’s Land Army, helped to keep farms running and provide Britain with food. The Women’s Voluntary Service was formed in 1938 to assist local government in whatever way was needed. Their slogan was ‘The WVS never says No”.
