EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking WW2 poster, titled "Every Member of the ATS Learns a Job," was published by the HMSO (His Majesty's Stationery Office) in 1940, during the height of the Second World War. The Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) was a women's auxiliary military organization in the British Army, created to release men for active combat duty. This poster showcases the importance of the ATS beyond the battlefield, emphasizing that every member would learn a job that would help her to earn her living in the post-war world. The colorful photolithograph, created by an unknown artist, depicts a determined woman in uniform, holding a blueprint and standing in front of a home, factory, and office, symbolizing the various settings where her skills would be applicable. The poster's tagline, "Join the ATS and Learn a Trade for the Future," highlights the organization's commitment to providing valuable training during wartime, which would serve its members well in the post-war era. The ATS played a crucial role in the war effort, with its members performing various duties, from clerical work to driving trucks, and even serving as mechanics and radio operators. This poster is a testament to the ATS's mission to empower women to contribute to the war effort and prepare them for the future.
