Land Army Records ?
« 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....
