How women who served their country will receive their badge of honour

Defra has today confirmed how former members of the Women's Land Army and Women's Timber Corps will receive their long-awaited badge of honour.

A ceremony will be held at No.10 Downing Street on 23rd July for around fifty Land Girls from across the country representing their former colleagues. They will meet the Prime Minister and Environment Secretary Hilary Benn, and be presented with their badges.

Land Girls across the country will then be sent their badge and a certificate in the following weeks, and events will then be held in every region around the country to celebrate this formal recognition of the Women's Land Army's role in the war effort.
