From the photographic studio of Chapman, Swansea. Dated 1918 on the reverse. In January 1917, with British people faced with starvation, the Ministry of Agriculture began to recruit a Women's Land Army - The girls served in on of 3 sections: Agriculture, Timber cutting and Forage. Land girls wearing an armband or armlet in dark green felt, denoted 30 days proficient national service with a red King’s crown sewn onto it and a single chevron. The chevron stripe denoted length of service. Perhaps this woman had not been a land girl for very long as she isn't wearing an armband.
