I don't think these are WW2 as the Womens Land Army Timber Corps did the tree work then. I believe these to be WWI badges. Open to correction!

The womans timber corps was formed in 1942 how ever I am happy to be corrected on their age and are WWI AND NOT WWII as I stated  which would explane the construction of the arm band as it differs from the WWII Womans Land Army examples which I have handled over the years and have in stock at the moment thanks steve

I just saw a Women's Forestry Service patch sell on Bosleys for almost 150. Listed as WW2, but obviously WW1. Good thread.
