The first women recruited to the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) worked as cooks, clerks and storekeepers. As time went on the range of duties expanded and women served as office, mess and telephone orderlies, drivers, postal workers and ammunition inspectors. Women were not allowed to fight in battle but as more and more men were called overseas to serve, their duties extended to include radar operators, military police, gun crews, and many other operational support tasks. By June 1945, there were over 190, 000 members of the ATS from all across the British Empire and Commonwealth.); © National Army Museum

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and inspiring colour lithograph from 1940 captures the essence of the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) during World War II. Titled 'There's a grand job waiting - you can still volunteer ATS', this print beckons women to join the war effort and take on vital roles in support of the British military.
During this time, women were recruited for a variety of positions within the ATS, ranging from clerks and cooks to radar operators and gun crews. As more men were called overseas to serve on the front lines, women stepped up to fill crucial operational support roles, ensuring that essential tasks were carried out efficiently and effectively.
By June 1945, over 190,000 women had joined the ATS from all corners of the British Empire and Commonwealth. Their dedication and hard work played a significant role in supporting the war effort and helping secure victory for their country.
This print serves as a powerful reminder of the important contributions made by women during wartime, highlighting their strength, resilience, and unwavering commitment to serving their nation. It is a testament to their courage and determination in stepping up when duty called – truly embodying the spirit of service and sacrifice.
