208026 Ivy "Pat" Tyler Auxiliary Territorial Service from:305 Mutton Lane, Potters Bar, Middlesex My mother, Ivy Tyler and her sister Rosalie Gladys Tyler both, joined the A.T.S. from their home in Potters Bar, Middlesex, now Hertfordshire. My mother was called "Pat" because there was another "Ivy" in their room. During her service she contacted Diptheria and had to undergo treatment. Her leg was affected, however she recovered with no ill affects. While traveling to Scotland to visit their brother, who was in hospital there suffering from Malaria caught in the Desert while serving with the Army, they met two young Air Force chaps. One was my father, Charlie Lancashire, from Edinburgh. They married in Edinburgh on 1st April 1944. As my Aunt and my Mum have both passed away I cannot supply more information. If anyone remembers any of the above I would love to hear from them.
