Auxiliary Communication Correspondence Ephemera Glamorous Glamour Khaki Smart Territorial
EDITORS COMMENTS
This WWII-era pop-up greetings card features an Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) woman in a smart khaki uniform, engaging in a lively telephone conversation. Dated circa 1942, this vintage ephemera offers a glimpse into the wartime correspondence and communication methods that connected friends and loved ones during a time of great distance and uncertainty. The ATS woman, with her glamorous bob hairstyle and a hint of a smile on her face, exudes a sense of youthful spirit and determination. The pop-up design adds an element of surprise and playfulness to the card, making it a cherished keepsake from the 1940s. The ATS, also known as the Women's Auxiliary Military Corps, was an essential part of the British military during WWII. These women served in various roles, including clerical, mechanical, and even driving positions, freeing up men for active combat duties. The ATS women played a vital role in the war effort and contributed significantly to the morale of the nation. This card serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and adaptability of people during wartime, as well as the importance of maintaining connections through correspondence and communication. The design, with its charming blend of glamour and functionality, continues to captivate us today and offers a unique perspective on the history of the 1940s.
