EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Valerie Ryshworth-Hill cuts an elegant figure as she confidently rides a motorbike in her ATS (Auxiliary Territorial Service) uniform from the 1940s. Valerie, who later married Lt Col Anthony Ryshworth-Hill and later became Valerie Wilkinson, served in various staff officer and diplomatic capacities in Austria, Ghana, and Turkey during her military career. The image, one of two identical photographs in the collection, captures the spirit of adventure and determination that defined the ATS during this era. The ATS was established in 1939 as the female auxiliary of the British Army, and Valerie was among the thousands of women who answered the call to serve their country during World War II. The ATS provided essential support to the military effort in various roles, including clerical work, mechanics, drivers, and dispatch riders. Valerie's motorbike is a testament to her skills as a dispatch rider, a critical role in the communication and transportation of vital information and supplies between military bases. The photograph, taken circa 1949, is a poignant reminder of the vital contributions made by women in the military during times of conflict. Valerie's confident and determined expression as she rides the motorbike is a powerful symbol of the courage and resilience of the women who served in the ATS and other military branches during the 1940s. The image also offers a glimpse into a bygone era, with its evocative details, such as the ATS uniform, the classic motorbike, and the scenic backdrop. Overall, this photograph is a valuable addition to the historical record of women's military service and a testament to the enduring spirit of those who answered the call to duty.
