Girls as young as 14 signed up for voluntary services and even the future Queen of England drove ambulances. Some women even worked as secret agents during the war.

Women in the USA had similar roles to women in Britain during WWII even though America didn’t enter the war until 1941. Women went to work in factories making ammunition and parts for planes and tanks and other war supplies. They learnt to operate heavy machinery and to drive trucks and to weld metal. Like in Britain their war effort was much needed and much appreciated.
