EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1942, captures a moment in the history of the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) and British Forces in the Middle East during World War II. The image features two brave women, clad in their distinctive ATS uniforms, riding motorcycles through an arid desert landscape. The motorcycles, with their sidecars, are laden with supplies, reflecting the crucial role these women played in supporting the military effort. The ATS was established in 1938 as an auxiliary branch of the British Army, and during the war, over 80,000 women served in the Middle East theatre. They undertook a variety of roles, including clerical work, driving, signalling, and even serving as mechanics and motorcycle despatch riders. The photograph is part of an album containing 65 images, which offer a unique insight into the daily life and experiences of the ATS and British Forces in the Middle East between 1942 and 1945. The images depict women in various roles, from cooking and nursing to driving trucks and manning anti-aircraft guns. The women are shown in diverse settings, from camps in the desert to bustling military bases, demonstrating their resilience and adaptability in challenging conditions. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the vital contributions made by the ATS and British Forces in the Middle East during World War II. The image of the two motorcyclists, with their determined expressions and the backdrop of the vast desert, encapsulates the spirit of adventure, courage, and resourcefulness that characterized the women who served in this theatre of war.
