ATS Movie - The Gentle Sex

[Home Guard]

I just stumbled upon a great little movie made in 1943 titled "The Gentle Sex". It's about seven young girls who join the ATS, and considering when it was made and he world circumstances at the time, it's really good. I do think the portray army life much more gentle even in the ATS than the reality was, but I am sure it was also a good recruiting vehicle as well.

I really enjoyed the part where hey show the girls serving in a mixed battery during an air raid. Gave a really good impression of manning the range finder and the searchlights.I liked it so much I watched it twice and also ordered a copy from Amazon.

Here's a link to a short bit from it on YouTube.
