To find out information on individual Land Girls, I would recommend the following:
- View the National Archives website which gives you information on tracking down individual Land Girl record cards.
- Read the following article by Stuart Antrobus on where to start when researching the WLA.
- E-mail me at info@womenslandarmy.co.uk to add a message to the ‘Messageboard’ on this site.
- Post a message to the Facebook page, which can be circulated to other Women’s Land Army networks.
If you need any other information, please get in touch, I would be more than happy to help: info@womenslandarmy.co.uk. Please note that I run the website in my free time, so there may be a delay in getting back to you.
