We are the Pilgrims , master, we shall go
Always a little further : it may be
Beyond that last blue mountain barred with snow
Across that angry or that glimmering sea...
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.
Fantastic Lez , i love the caps, the condition of everything is A1 !!

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
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.
Superb set and incalculably rare to see ,Lez -true museum material.

Thanks William.
ATS Service Dress cap number 3.
Clearly she liked this one and wore it often.
Made by "Bates Hatters, 21 Jermyn Street, St James', London"
ATS Service Dress cap number 4.
In contrast, she must have hardly worn this one.
I will leave her caps at present (there are more!) and show some uniforms for a change.
She was attatched to the "Ack-Ack". Here is her service dress uniform.
This is dated 1940 and made by "Flights".
She wears the rank of senior commander (Major)
