Hi, Does anyone recognize this uniform? My beautiful mother in law died in 1949 and we have nobody to ask. She did work in a Munitions factory in 1942 when she married, but this looks like a regular army uniform. thanks Chris Edwards
Thanks for your interest. There seems to be a central stem dropped down from the shoulder badge which does not appear in the ATS photo. I have found another photo which indicates also an insignia above the breast pocket. Is the lanyard of any importance?
It is ATS badge see these other examples. I just Googled ''ats shoulder badge'' lots to compare. The flaming bomb most likely is Royal Artillery (although Royal Engineers had similar badge) , ATS wore a badge of unit they attached to above that pocket. see here. http://static0.casgliad.sequence.co.uk/Cluster/Media/Items/000/000/049/088/Thumbnails/Thumb635x353.jpg?v=0 and http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/stories/32/images/11345723485252637817_1.jpg this page shows different units badges over breast pockets. Auxiliary Territorial Service
ATS Lanyard here. http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/military_photos/uniforms/319652d1331687984t-ats-1941-service-dress-royal-artillery-northern-command-100_3035.jpg and http://militaryantiques.co.uk/images/thumbnail12328.jpg
