Wartime Wollaston
The Home Guard
Wollaston had its own Home Guard Unit
The Land Girls
Wollaston was a base for the Land Army girls. There was a Land Army Hostel n York Road.
The Women's Land Army was a British civilian organisation created during World War II so women could work in agriculture, reviving a disbanded World War One organisation and replacing men called up to the military. Women who worked for the Land Army were commonly known as Land Girls. In effect the Land Army operated to place women with farms that needed workers, the farmers being their employers. They picked crops and did all the jobs that the men would do.
