Dig, dig, dig for victory!
The inspiring spirit of girl guides saw them involved in a range of war-time campaigns. One example was ‘dig for victory’, to help combat food shortages during and after the second world war. Parks, gardens and even rooftops were transformed into vegetable plots, everyone doing what they could to make a difference.
This year we remember the important contribution girls made to support their country in a crucial time of need.
