Great Britain supplied France and her
other allies with steel. coal. material
and munitions and maintained the
greatest army in the world There.
however. still was a considerable mar
gin of men available for war II the
need arose for increasing the army.
Women more and more were coming
to the rescue On the munition works.
There were nearly 100000 women,

tasks which before the war one never
dreamed women were capable Of dis
charging. AS the result of this the
country had increased enormously
