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
