Land Girls on the Home Front
OU have no doubt all read the recent announcement that a Women’s Land Corps is being formed. Unless sufficient food is available for our armies and the civilian population, we cannot continue to fight, and in common with other parts of the British Empire, a call is now being made upon the women of New Zealand, to assist in an increasing degree, to produce a sufficiency of food for these purposes. The Women’s Land Corps is really a civilian army, and the members of the Corps are being enlisted through ,the W.W.S.A. and will, for disciplinary and welfare purposes, be under the control of the Auxiliary. The minimum age for membership is 18 years‘ of age, and the women will wear the general uniform of the Women’s War Service Auxiliary. Special wage provisions have already been
fixed, and employers are being subsidised until such time as inexperienced members of the Corps are competent to carry out the work on the farms.-(Wational Service talk by Mrs. Janet Fraser, 2Y A, December 14).
