Warrior Combat Caracal Battalion (Women Unit)

The Caracal Battalion (Hebrew: גדוד קרקל‎‎) is an infantry combat battalion of the Israel Defense Forces, one of only two fully combat units in the Israeli military that is composed of both male and female soldiers. It is named after the Caracal, a small cat whose sexes appear the same.
As of 2009, approximately 70% of the battalion was female.

I've put up "Women's Land Army" posters in the past - I just found this ... Timber Jills as they were called.





During World War 2, over 4,900 young women joined the Women's Land Army Timber Corps (W.L.A.T.C.) in order to make a contribution to the war effort. They worked in the forests of Great Britain, felling, snedding, loading, crosscutting, driving tractors, trucks, working with horses, measuring and operating sawmills.
This was done in all kinds of weather. One thousand were camped in wooden huts in the north of Scotland, others in rugged billets, far from the comforts of family and home.
A female forester was expected to wield a six pound axe, and produce enough timber to supply timber for pit props for the mines, telegraph poles, road blocks, ships masts, railway sleepers, gun mats, mobile tracking to support tanks, ladders, newsprint and even crosses for soldiers graves.
Timber Corp. members were sufficiently experienced to be sent to Germany after the war to salvage equipment from abandoned sawmills. Although forestry enjoyed a more attractive image than farming, it nevertheless required stamina and expertise. The "lumberjills" as they were called wore the same uniform as the Land Girls, with the exception of the Green Beret, and the badge, which instead of a wheat sheaf featured a Fir tree, surmounted by a Royal crown.



Take a few minutes and run a search for the Women's Land Army and related photos - there are a ton of photos on line.

Tons of photos like this. History is worth looking at from time to time.

 

The Brits weren't alone.
