Who is this? It certainly ain't my Mum!

From the parched grass and the style of fencing (looks to be bamboo rather than wire) it could be somewhere "foreign"

Could just be a hot summer!

The Trees look "English"!

If it were somewhere hot, I would expect her to be in KD

The screen looks to be a little more substantial than bamboo to me!

I tend to agree.  Somewhere in the Americas perhaps?  The style of fencing is called lattice I think.  The power poles also seem to have an American type look.  My guess would be Canada or the United States.

Not in the US with that uniform!!

Canada is a possibility, but the telegraph pole has been "army whitewashed", and examples of that kind were around in this country during the war.

I will look through my books etc to see if I cant find something similar re the stuff.

Is that not an elm at the back?

You lot are just fantastic! I love reading all this Sherlock Holmesian stuff. Now, can you tell me what flavour lipstick she was wearing? 

I thought the palisade look 'foreign' but I'll bow to your expertise. My Dad was in Burma 1945 - 47. Could an ATS have been out there then?

Scrimnet, I'm not complaining!   

Thanks all for your interest.

I was not suggesting that she was in the U.S. Military. 

 As you say obviously not  a U.S. uniform however I don't discount as yet the picture being taken somewhere in North America, it just doesn't have the feel of the U.K. about it.

As far as the power pole being whitewashed, it looks more like an aluminum pole to me.

Perhaps it is an elm, they grow throughout the world.

This is a good un as well

Now that you are discussing something foreign, when I looked at the picture with only a couple of replies last night, I imagined the 'badge' on the hat looked rather kiwi-shaped  .... I have no idea if it represents what our young ladies wore though.

I think the gloves are possibly leather with some sort of knitted cuff ?   The hand part of the gloves is very stiff, can't be wool !

The fencing is certainly interesting ... looks like rattan or split bamboo; even the open gate is the same material ... which I'm sure makes it not English ...
