World war collectors continue to collect World War style Dress Uniforms

 



The Auxiliary Territorial Service or ATS was the women branch of the British Army during World War II. It was initially formed for women voluntary service and later merged into the Women's Royal Army Corps. The ATS uniform was the service dress made out of a khaki skirt suit consisting of ATS Cap, Shirt Cotton, Collar, Tie, Service Dress Jacket, Service Dress Skirt, Belt Fabric, Khaki Stockings, Shoes (Brown), Lanyard RA (White). However, the basic ATS uniform had two badges that need to be worn on each arm and the ATS Shoulder Title. This ATS had its roots in the Women's Auxiliary Army Corps (WAAC).

Unlike the Zulu war uniforms, the ATS uniform had more in the way of uniforms to choose from and can get away with a smaller amount of equipment to look authentic at the start. However, the most basic of dress for an ATS searchlight operator is a set of Denim Overalls, together with Boots Ankle (Brown), Gaiters Leather (Brown), Shirt Work, Tie, Cap ATS.

 



The Luftwaffe was the air force of Nazi Germany during World War II. Luftwaffe uniforms and rank insignia had many unique features during that phase. However, the new Luftwaffe was faced with the problem of Luftwaffe uniforms as it was not unique and different from the other two branches. The basic Luftwaffe uniform has consisted of a blue-grey single-breasted, open-collared jacket with four pockets and flaps, a white shirt and black necktie, blue-grey trousers, black leather boots, and a blue-grey peaked cap, side cap.  Ranks were indicated by collar patches, along with Army-style shoulder boards.

 

 World War I Australian Uniforms have changed significantly over the past century, although the accoutrements worn over this period have remained relatively similar. The forces of the Australian colonies closely followed Great War I German army uniforms. Since then it has continued to be included in some distinctly Australian designs, reflecting local conditions and trends. Moreover, World War I Australian Military Uniforms, customs, and traditions have been inherited from the Zulu War Army Uniforms. This is due to the nation's history as a former British colony and the origins in the forces raised by each of the Australian colonies.

 

The female auxiliary of the Royal Air Force during World War II was referred to as Women's Auxiliary Air Force or WAAF. The WAAF Uniforms (Women's Auxiliary Air Force) were the standardized military dress with predominant colours of the Royal Air Force. The WAAF army Uniforms and their replicas were blue-grey and Wedgwood blue based on the Royal Air Force pattern with nationality flashes on the shoulders. Though in Women's Auxiliary Air Force, women did not serve as aircrew, did not participate in active combat, but they were exposed to the same dangers as any on the "war front" working at military installations. They were actively involved in the background works like parachute packing catering, meteorology, radar, aircraft maintenance, transport, and communications duties which include wireless telephonic and telegraphic operation. They also belong to the nursing services.
