Dulcie Nellie Pearce

Auxiliary Territorial Service

from:Winterhead Farm, Winscombe, Somerset

Dulcie Pearce was my first cousin once removed and was also my Godmother. She was the only child of Reg and Maud Pearce a farmer's daughter living at Winscombe, Somerset until she joined the ATS with a great love of nature and animals. She loved riding and had a horse called Beauty.

Dulcie served as 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
I do know that she had 2 proposals of marriage from a Neville (who came from South Africa) and also a Jimmy from Scotland.

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.
