WW2 records for Bicester
« on: Wednesday 17 June 20 14:36 BST (UK) »
My son in law’s grandmother, Margaret McCormack, born 1924 in Rugby, served in the ATS at Bicester.  In 1939 she was living in Rugby and was an aircraft inspector.  We do not know when she moved to Bicester or what the ATS did there.  Can anyone help us find out more information about Margaret or tell us what she may have been doing? We are thinking of applying to the MOD for her service record but we are not sure she would be included.

Any help would be very much appreciated

Her record should be with all the other WW2 records and to be sure exactly what unit(s) she was serving with (there may have been others) you should go ahead and apply.

The major army organisation at Bicester was the Ordnance Depot where she may have been employed, piece about it here:

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,
