THIS weekend an event at Belsay Hall celebrates fashion from the 40s, but style was the last thing on the minds of the ladies from the Women's Land Army.
Picture two shows the Lionhearts of Northumberland working on a sawmill. The photograph was taken on March 22, 1943, and shows three women carrying timber.Our next picture (picture three) was taken in July 1943 and shows women, complete with face shields, being trained as welders. It was reported that after intensive training they would be sent out to shipyards and engineering works to help in turning out weapons and ships.
