From friendships unbreakable by time, romances that blossomed into lifelong marriages and danceson a weekend in the local village, to tales of loneliness and isolation and backbreaking farm work,these women gave up their lives to ensure our nation could continue to be fed and took the placesof men who went off to war.
These are the personal stories from a group of women who deserve to be remembered; from ageneration who will soon only live in our memories but who each played a vital role in helping tofight for our freedom from the fields of Britain.
