# Action Stations: The A.T.S. Go to War - Salute Them with War Savings

A large cut-out figure of a woman welding is ringed by five small drawn roundels of Auxiliary Territorial Service work (cooking, ordnance repair, motor transport, anti-aircraft, communications). The admiration for the women's service is carried over to the final ask, 'Salute them with War Savings', which links the savings purchase to the women pictured.
