Early in WWII the need for a small utility vehicle became apparent. To expedite the manufacturing process some civilian car designs were modified. These small utility vehicles were usually referred to as “tilly”, a play on the word utility. There were 4 major producers of these vehicles, Austin, Hillman, Standard and Morris. Manufacturers kept some of their distinctive physical features such as hoods (bonnets) and grilles. The “tilly” was well suited for the multitude of tasks it was assigned and became an iconic WWII British vehicle.

In 1938 the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) was created. The need for first aid workers had decreased but there was an increasing need for driving mechanical transport. To fill this need and lessen the demand for men freeing them up to perform combat duty, the Women’s Transport Service was created. This unit was headquartered in Camberley and later became known as No. 1 TCMT (Training Centre Mechanical Training) some places it is referred to as No. 1 MTTC (Motor Transport Training Centre). The most notable person to attend No was Princess Elizabeth now Queen Elizabeth II.
