Sorry to contradi...Love it - great poster 1st Man.<br /><br />Sorry to contradict slightly, but many women signed up for the armed forces from the UK from 1941 and fought in Europe during WWII, especially with the French and Polish resistance, and more than 400,000 US women served during that war. <br /><br />Women had some limitations e.g they were not permitted to man big guns. Agree, many who stayed home with the mission 'to keep the home fires burning' worked on the land, covering the jobs that the many men who had gone to war would normally do, but many did very dangerous work in municion factories, drove ambulances during air raids, and manned the search lights over London and other major cities, so it wasn't all fun on the farm - though many tell of very happy summers doing just that. :) The Happy Hippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04511742760342592785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-71143078823603216452013-06-23T21:10:45.345-05:002013-06-23T21:10:45.345-05:00My mother was a WAC during WWII in the US--Women&#...My mother was a WAC during WWII in the US--Women's Army Corp.
