Step back in time and discover the extraordinary women who became Britain’s Lumberjills during World War II. This stunning photo book reveals never-before-seen images of the brave Women's Timber Corps who felled trees, worked in sawmills and drove timber haulage trucks to power the war effort. Their stories of strength, resilience, and freedom will inspire generations to come.
Lumberjill Heather Rumsby, somewhere in Surrey, UK 1943.
“It's wonderful to read these stories of the women who contributed so much to the war effort but were then forgotten about.
Thanks to Joanna's perseverance and determination, they are now being rightly honoured and remembered.”
"The hardback photo book is a beautiful gift and its wonderful photos truly bring stories about these incredible Lumberjills to life. Thank you for putting this photographic record together, Jo, and ensuring this part of history will be remembered for generations to come."
“Joanna Foat’s characters
are brilliantly drawn and so
wonderfully written, readers will end up missing them when they turn the last page.
Written with style, flair and heart, this evocative, entertaining and gloriously readable historical novel is a delight from beginning to end and I look forward to reading more books from Joanna Foat.”
