For every six months of satisfactory service a half
diamond was added to the armlet. A special armlet was awarded after two
years of service and a scarlet armlet after four years service. Many
women had to pay for part or all of this uniform and it was a source of
irritation that they received no additional clothing coupons and that
often German and Italian prisoners of war received allocations of
Wellington boots before the Land and Timber Corps Girls.
The uniform was smart, stylish and practical and a
considerable source of pride.
