My mother also proudly served in the ATS of the British Army. I am lucky I've heard many tales, seen photos and memorabilia - many - from her and my father, who served in the American Army Air Corps. They were both stationed around Cairo, Egypt, and there they married in 1946. Both of my parents are still alive, mother 93, and dad 92. Time is ticking and I'm trying to learn, hear the stories, the names and all and get it all written down before it'll be too late.

My mother was stationed at Tel El Kabir. She grew up in Palestine, now Israel, and drove tanks and trucks and everything else in between. I would love to locate anyone who was with her or knew her or hear from anyone knowing anything about these soldiers.
