What it is
A poster for the Women's Land Army, dated 1945, held by the National Archives (NAID 514440) in its World War II Posters series.
Why it matters
The Women's Land Army put women to work on the farms in place of the men called up, and was modeled on the British Women's Land Army; this sheet comes from the last year of the war.
What to notice
War crops: the headline puts the harvest under the same word as the guns and the ships.
A harvest, counted as munitions.
