EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of determination and focus among a group of Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) archers during World War Two. The ATS, an auxiliary branch of the British Army, played a crucial role in supporting the military effort during this period, with over 150,000 women serving in various roles. This image is one of 67 photographs in the collection, which showcase the diverse range of sporting activities in which ATS personnel participated. The archers are seen in a woodland setting, with the sun filtering through the trees and casting dappled light on the scene. Each woman is intently focused on her target, their expressions a testament to their dedication and skill. The image not only highlights the athletic abilities of these women but also their resilience and adaptability in the face of adversity. The exact date of this photograph is not known, but it is estimated to be from circa 1945. The ATS archers, like so many other women who served during this time, made significant contributions to the war effort and left an indelible mark on history.
