Default ATS with British Resistance

The photo shows a side cap worn by an ATS subaltern who was a radio operator with the Special Duties (Signals) section of the British Resistance/Auxiliary Units.

Can anyone tell me the colours of the side cap and what is the badge. Doesn't look like ATS or Signals. But can't think why it would be anything else. She was probably station in Sussex.

Default ATS

It looks like an ATS badge to me. The bottom of the badge is partially obscured by the inner edge of the cap material.

The Badge will be ATS, as the 'Attached Personnel' (i.e. Royal Signals etc) Badge is worn above the left breast pocket:

Cap is Brown sides with Green pipping and Beach Brown top panel

An ATS coloured Field Service cap for reference. These were privately purchased and not an issue item
