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 donīt understand are all these organizations. ATS = Auxiliary Territorial Service - Transport Service. OK.

But there were also Womenīs Transport Service (FANY) and Womenīs Motor Transport Corps (MTC).

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