EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to August 1939, capturing a moment in time when the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) gathered at Camp Captain Scotts. The image showcases several tents of various shapes and sizes, forming an encampment for the 13th Sussex Company ATS. In the foreground, we see a group of ATS members huddled around the first tent, engrossed in conversation or perhaps planning their activities for the day. The photograph exudes a sense of camaraderie and unity among these women who dedicated themselves to serving their country during wartime. It offers a glimpse into their daily lives as they navigated through military training and camp life. The simplicity of the tents against the backdrop of nature highlights both their resilience and adaptability in challenging circumstances. Preserved within George Garland's collection at West Sussex Record Office, this historical gem allows us to appreciate the significant role played by women in supporting Britain's armed forces during World War II. Their contribution was invaluable, breaking gender barriers and paving the way for future generations. As we delve into this remarkable piece of history captured on film, let us remember those brave women who selflessly served their nation with unwavering dedication. This print serves as a poignant reminder of their sacrifices and enduring spirit amidst uncertain times.
