    Belt, Sanitary, ATS.

    Not maker marked. According to the ATS scale of issue, two issued per woman. Described as "White double lightweight cotton fabric, later interlined with swansdown."

    Here we have the ATS issue "Socks, Ankle". Faintly dated 1945. Shown in full in the bottom left pic.

    There was also a version in the heavy woolen liesle material.

    I have also shown the WRAC version, once again no difference between these and the wartime ATS pair. Much early WRAC pattern kit was the same as wartime.

    Cheers, Lez.
