Four Women. One War.
The Coughton community was a hive of activity throughout the war years, Women led the local effort to support soldiers on the Western Front, whilst raising their families and taking on work traditionally carried out by men. As in many towns and villages throughout Britain, Coughton women got together frequently throughout the war to organise fundraising, knitting drives and aid for wounded servicemen. This year we explore the stories of four of those women – Emily Ainge, Isabel Eagles, Kate Mason, and Lilian Throckmorton. Four Women. One War.
