ATS girls at a Welsh Anti aircraft gun site are watching their fuel target
ATS girls at a Welsh Anti aircraft gun site are watching their fuel target. From small coal which they mix with cement, they make coal bricks. When the mixture is ready it is put into small cans and turned out like sand pies.

Conservation Energy Fuel War Effort
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Charlie Ley, we are transported back to November 1942 at a Welsh Anti-aircraft gun site. Here, a group of dedicated ATS girls can be seen diligently watching their fuel target with unwavering focus. The war effort during the Second World War demanded innovative solutions to conserve energy and fuel, and these remarkable women were at the forefront of it all. With resourcefulness as their weapon, these ATS girls ingeniously crafted coal bricks using small coal mixed with cement. The process was meticulous - once the mixture reached its perfect consistency, it was carefully placed into small cans and turned out like sand pies. Their determination to contribute to the home front's energy conservation efforts is truly commendable. This powerful image not only captures the spirit of resilience that defined the 1940s but also pays homage to the countless women who played an instrumental role in supporting military operations during World War II. Through their hard work and dedication, they ensured that our armed forces had access to vital resources while simultaneously contributing towards a sustainable future. Charlie Ley's photograph serves as a timeless reminder of how ordinary individuals can make extraordinary contributions when faced with adversity. It encapsulates an era where every action mattered in shaping history and stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who worked tirelessly on the home front during one of humanity's darkest hours.
