Roughly 1 million years ago I spent a year at DADPTC(Defence Automatic Data Processing Training Centre) Blandford, as it was quaintly named in thosedays; most of us called it Dads Army.
The Royal Signals, who owned Blandford Forum, were being TACEVALed (or whatever they called it) and they were on exercise alert.
The ADP school was on a hill inside the camp; below the hill was a vehicle repair garage. When the exercise alarm went off the vehicle mechanics became all jumpy and defensive.
The Training Centre was joint service and exempt exercises. There were two WREN clerks from the general office walking along the path at the top ofthe hill to have their lunch when the vehicle mechanics, down below, spotted them , pointed their guns at them and demanded proof of identity.
The two girls bent forward, each got hold of the front of their uniform skirt hem then they both stood up - revealing black stockings, suspender belts and white knickers.
The vehicle mechanics stopped bothering us after that, but I don't know whether they bothered the WRENs again!!
