Thank you all with your help I have found out she was a private in the A.t.s
Info that you each lead me to.
Didn’t help that with my mum she was born Annie but married as Ann and so the deviations lead me astray . :-(

As has been said more than once, you won’t find any records on line. You have to apply for them

As I asked earlier, do you have her marriage certificate?

PM'd Paula to let her know that GR does not notify of replies on threads.
Received reply, "Thanks will check."

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Do you have the cert? It should include info about any occupation she may have had

Her name on her second marriage record is also 'Ann'..............no reference to a second forename

Her birth
Births Sep 1923 (>99%)
Forsyth Annie McCarthy St.Olave 1d 237

Upload the photo to your Keepsafe and someone will undoubtedly be able to identify the Service

When/where was she born?
Was Forsyth her maiden name?

I have a photo of my mum circa 1943 in a uniform that I’m trying to identify what branch she served in I believe Ats do they keep records.
