    Yes, it's a pretty simple uniform to recreate. There are a couple of interesting features though. Firstly, she has a cloth rank star (pip) sewn to each shoulder, and secondly, she has the chinstrap of her cap over the top of her head, in classic ATS Motor Transport fashion.

    Hiya, I am hoping Rob might see this thread as I would like to know more about this Battery?

    Cheers, Lez.
    Then i think you might find this interesting. It's from the 'ATS Remembered' website, and is a short service record for a member (a cook to be specific) of 631st HAA Bty: http://www.atsremembered.org.uk/leachsheetpdf.pdf

    Here is another one, this time a trench art ash tray made from a shell and with an ATS cap badge affixed to the front.

    Cheers, Lez.
    This item started life as a sealed cover for a Time Fuze for an artillery shell. These fuzes contained slow burning powder, and exposure to the atmosphere caused a very quick deterioration. The fuze cover had to be removed pretty much just before setting and firing. The rim at the bottom contains a rubber seal. Here are a couple of covers I have from Time & Percussion Fuzes No 221 and 221B:
