About this title

Synopsis

This book recounts the experiences of the First Telegraph Battalion, Signal Corps, U.S. Army, initially formed in 1917 as the First Telegraph Battalion, Signal Reserve Corps. Deployed to France in 1918, the battalion played a pivotal role in establishing and maintaining telephone and lighting plants at General Headquarters, and connecting divisional areas throughout the country. The author, a member of the battalion, provides captivating first-hand accounts of the challenges and hardships faced by the soldiers as they navigated enemy fire, overcame technical difficulties, and adapted to the realities of life on the front lines. From the initial recruitment and training at Monmouth Park to the final push into enemy territory, the narrative vividly captures the camaraderie, dedication, and resilience of these young men who left their civilian lives behind to serve their country. This book not only chronicles the battalion's remarkable contributions to the war effort but also offers a poignant glimpse into the human face of conflict and the enduring bonds forged in the crucible of war.
