Muffett,
The two ladies uniforms are clearly UKATS uniforms. The women's branch of the army was called the Auxiliary Territorial Service, or ATS. Free French
badged.
It was formed in 1938 and after one year 17,000 women volunteers had joined up.
This number grew to over 200,000 by the end of 1943.
The new recruits were sent to army camps for their basic training. Here they slept in huts, learnt to march and obey orders and kept the camp scrubbed clinically clean. At the end of the four weeks of training there were written and practical tests to find out which line of work they were best suited to.
In terms of the lad in the middle, he was probably supplied that by an American Unit as Free French, looking at the shape of the cut on the pockets and the jacket. Hope that helps![]()
