Dressed in
overalls and carrying axes, these are the women who helped the Allied
forces on their way to victory during the Second World War.
The
women, nicknamed the 'Lumberjills' were members of the Women's Timber
Corps (WTC), whose job it was to fell trees, work in sawmills and carry
out other heavy land duties.
They were recruited by the Forestry Commission and replaced the men, who had left their jobs in order to join the armed forces.

Sad. Now the us forestry no longer lets anyone harvest trees
ReplyDeleteDue to 'environmental' habitat destruction (disguising anticapitalism motives) .
Wonder why there are so many forest fires consuming millions of acres?
Not allowing the thinning of diseased and mature trees as well as not treating blister beetle infestations that are killing millions of trees creating acres of dry tinder.
But im just a stupid American. What do I know.
They thin them here. Croatan National Forest.
