Title: Land Army Records ?
Post by: Kevinshouse on Thursday 01 January 15 22:43 GMT (UK)

My late Aunt was in the Land Army in Cornwall during World War 2. She was born and lived in West Yorkshire, would there be any records about this or anywhere I could contact . I know she married in Cornwall from her marriage certificate. Any help would be very much appreciated on this subject
Kind regards Susan  :)

This is rather unhelpful from the National Archives - records have not survived:

You might try the Cornwall Archives service - you never know....

And see the link in the TNA above to the IWM's collection....
