The Bakelite Timber Corps Hat Badge

or 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.
