Defra has today announced how former members of the Women's Land Army and Women's Timber Corps will receive their long-awaited badge of honour.
A ceremony will be held at 10 Downing Street on July 23 for around 50 Land Girls from across the country representing their former colleagues.
They will meet the Prime Minister and Environment Secretary Hilary Benn, and be presented with their badges.
Land Girls across the nation will then be sent their badge and a certificate in the following weeks, and events will then be held in every region to celebrate this formal recognition of the Women's Land Army's role in the war effort.
Over 29,000 applications for the badge have so far been received.
