ROYAL ARTILLERY GROUP: WORLD WAR II
ROYAL ARTILLERY GROUP: WORLD WAR II
A Royal Artillery group with many Auxiliary Training Service women including Eileen Welch. Although from Lambeth when she joined the ATS in 1942 aged twenty, she was assigned to anti-aircraft sites and received training before her first posting to Whitby. Here Eileen operated the Vickers' Predictor where she was required to spot the incoming enemy planes and transfer a message to the guns. Women were not permitted to fire the guns as it was believed that they were unable to cope with the idea of taking a human life.Digital image by kind permission of Eileen Malcolm (née Welch). From the Lambeth Archives Home Front project 2005.
