What did Land Girls wear?
Land Army Girls worked on farms, milking cows, digging ditches, mucking out livestock or sawing timber. The work was hard and outdoors in all weathers. What they wore varied, but it was all practical and hard-wearing. In the photograph you will see that some wore wellington boots and others have sturdy shoes. Some wore corduroy trousers and others had overalls. They wore cotton shirts with a green tie and a green jumper. All had a thick working coat. They wore a smart felt hat (with the W.L.A badge pinned on) when they were wearing their smart overcoat on parade, but while working they would wear their hair tied up in a scarf, to keep it out of the way of farm machinery.
