    Here is ATS service dress cap number 2. By the way, when I unpacked these from the trunk, they were stuffed with 1950's dated newspaper and moth balls. Hence the nice condition of all her items.

    This one is oddly missing it's officers bronze cap badge. I have not bothered to replace it.

    It has a nice little woven name tag in the crown.

    Who leaves him now , be damned forever.

    But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

    Hiya Al, she liked to shop at some expensive places!

    Hiya Paul, she never really wore anything out and did look after her kit.

    Cheers, Lez.

    I will leave her caps at present (there are more!) and show some uniforms for a change.

    This is dated 1940 and made by "Flights".
