Responsibilities and Duties of a Signalman.
Platoon, we had three . . . under ideal conditions, we had three
men, three signallers with every, with the three companies,
with the four companies. The A, B, C and D and headquarters,
with the three men attached to each company. And mostly all you
did there, was answer the phone and when you were on,
on manoeuvres, you had your, you had the wireless set.
You did your communications for that. And as soon as you stop,
they would lay line to you and you had, you had your phone then.
That was on exercises and . . . but the main signal office of the
of the regiment, would be about 11 or 12 people working there.
This is besides the 12 that would be, the 15 that would be out to
the companies. There would be about 12, working in the signal
office and the rest were just kind of kicking around. And we were
very seldom, really up to strength, even when we were in England
and once you got into action,
you were lucky if you had two men in your company.
