L/Cpl. Dorothea Leighton
British Army No.2 Coy. Auxiliary Territorial Service
Dorothea Leighton served with Dulcie Pearce who was an ambulance driver in the ATS, starting her service at Wickham House, Clevedon, Somerset in I believe 1941. At Wickham was a Dr Thomas Johnson. I have an autograph book of hers with many, many names of women and men serving in the ATS. Dulcie spent a great deal of time at Crossways, Haywards Heath, but was also sent to Honiton, Castle Cary, Chester, Ormskirk and Marston Camp.
A few names that I can read in the book are:-
Corporal Cynthia Spraggett
Mary Flanagan
Elizabeth Whittington (nickname Dicky)
Barbara Burnes
Jocelyn Burnes of CRS Clevedon
J McLeod at Marston Hall
"Dilly" Radford
Dorothy Lister
E Beryl Jones
Bunty Bikett
Bobbie Wilson
Barbara Reed
Joan Sharpe
Lance Corporal Dorothea Leighton, No 2 Company, Heathfield Camp
Molly Wallbridge
Corporal Foley at Honiton
If anyone knows more about Dulcie's time in the ATS or could give me her number so I could obtain her service records I would be grateful
