RAILWAY WOMEN IN WARTIME A Unique Collection of Historic Photographs and Reminiscences |
|
When railwaymen joined the Forces in 1914 and 1939,
many thousands of British women were recruited to replace them.
Thousands of women performed manual, uniformed and engineering work which in peacetime was open only to men. They were porters, signalwomen, guards, workshopwomen, goods porters, trackwomen and they served the railways for up to six years. Some even stayed on after the war. Click on the images to see photographs of railwaywomen during the two world wars. |
