THE STORY of a World War 2 dispatch rider from Garnant has been rediscovered as we mark International Women s Day today (March 8). Heritage body Cadw is dedicating the day to celebrate a ‘forgotten’ piece of Welsh history the story of Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) Dispatch Rider, Mollie Davies. Born in Garnant the young nineteen-year-old with a passion for motorsports was the first ATS servicewoman to lose her life during the Second World War yet her story has seldom been told. Telling Mollie’s story is all part of Cadw’s continued effort to unearth and celebrate the stories of women from Wales’s past a mission which was started with the release of its first feminist history book for children last year, Welsh Women Making History.
