Just a few more thoughts on this Not been an 'Auxiliary Territorial Service' title.

I tend to look for empirical proof of an item before accepting it as valid, so have following two points to make.

1. I have never seen a period photograph of the title worn by any ATS member and there are hundreds, if not thousands of photographs out there.

2. A period (1945) article 'WOMEN'S WAR WORK WITH THE ARMY' by E.J.Martin for the Journal of the society of Army Historical Research does not show this title among the many pictures of women's services badges. I would have thought if it was a valid badge at the time the article was written in 1945, then it would have been shown.

Unfortunately I don't have any evidence for what it may be, but I am of the opinion that it is not 'Auxiliary Territorial Service'.

Regards
Steven
