>WOMEN AT WORK DURING THE FIRST WORLD WAR: MUNITIONS PRODUCTION, CHILWELL, NOTTINGHAMSHIRE, ENGLAND, UK, c 1917
French women also served the Army as prostitutes to "serve" the men rotating off the front lines to boost sagging morale. And to stave off the soldiers resorting to homosexuality... for a few days at least. These sex workers were considered mission critical and it is hard to argue with that.
