Description

English: The Auxiliary Territorial Service in the United Kingdom 1939 - 1945

ATS officers-in-training man a searchlight in Western Command, 28 February 1944. Second Subaltern (2/Sub) Janet Holland is nearest the camera with 2/Sub Eileen Eteson behind. The ATS officers were required to spend six weeks at a searchlight site in order to have first hand experience of the work and conditions of the women under their future command.

This is a 90cm projector. The operator moves the light using the wheel at the end of the long arm, in the foreground. This arrangement allowed the operator to stand outside the glare of the lamp.

Date

between 1939 and 1945

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
