MP hails recognition for Women's Land Army veterans

Tuesday 29th January 2008

Female war veterans can now apply to have their efforts recognised as applications open for a new badge of recognition.

Local MP, Des Browne said:

"I am delighted that the selfless efforts these women made to support the nation during the World War I and II are to be recognised. I would ask if there are any Kilmarnock and Loudoun constituents who believe they are eligible for a badge to contact my office on 01563 520267."  

The badge will acknowledge those surviving members of the Women's Land Army and Women's Timber Corps who worked on the Home Front to provide food and timber for the nation during World War I and II.
