History notes:

The Women's Land Army (WLA) was a British civilian organization created in 1917 by the Board of Agriculture during the First World War to bring women into work in agriculture, replacing men called up to the military. It was disbanded in 1919 but revived in June 1939 under the same name to again organise women to replace workers called up to the military during the Second World War.
