The attached picture is of members of the British - Auxiliary Territorial Service (A.T.S.) being inspected buy Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, somewhere in the south of England during the fall of 1939. These women were employed in the Women's Transport Service of the A.T.S.

Cheers

Nice,

Let us have a closer look at the ATS:

From left: A Private a Subaltern (1st Lt, a 2Lt was called Second subaltern) and a Sergeant.

What I don´t understand are all these organizations. ATS = Auxiliary Territorial Service - Transport Service. OK.

But there were also Women´s Transport Service (FANY) and Women´s Motor Transport Corps (MTC).

Did British motorized women fight a civil war of their own within WW 2?
