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.
