Default ATS in 20th London's

I previously posted that I thought this young ATS lady was in the Royal West Kent Btn cap badge, but in looking at it closer and comparing that badge with the 20th London Btn cap badge I realized that my earlier posting was wrong. That is definitely a 20th London Btn badge she is wearing, a Btn that was first attached to the RE attached as an AA Battery, and then to the RA in 1940. It was a search light unit.



Another badge to add to the list of those worn by ATS girls on the left breast of their coat. I am sure there are others, as there was a list of about 10 or 12 posted previously. If you like ATS, makes for a nice little subset of badges.



Just got the 20th London from Alan Owen (THANKS Alan), so for now, just need to get a WW2 right facing when looking at the person, or left side collar badge when wearing it for the Corps of Signals.
