- Support As a tribute to the roles women have played in the Second World War. I didn't even know that women had such an active role. -- Yann (talk) 11:15, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
- Support Very impressive. The Auxiliary Territorial Service, by the way, was entirely female, and any single or married British woman aged between 17 and 43 was allowed to volunteer for it. So this was quite a common thing; over 640000 women overall served in the ATS and other auxiliary services, mostly in air defence tasks as pictured here. Cmao20 (talk) 11:45, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose Historical importance aside, photographically this is lacking. The composition with her pose and sightline crossing the gun looks just silly to me and it feels not enough background is included to provide good context. The large shadow below her left shoulder is distracting. – Lucas 13:13, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

- Support - Works for me, and I think there is enough background in the file description to sufficiently understand what she and we are looking at. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:11, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

- Support Historic value, and pretty good color and detail for that time IMO. Daniel Case (talk) 17:34, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose Not an excellent picture for me --Fischer.H (talk) 17:28, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
