Signals Training (All Arms) Pam No.5 - contents?

[Chris Suslowicz]

Ah, I seem to have missed this post (and most of the pamphlets are boxed up somewhere)....

The June 1943 version of the RT procedure marked the introduction of the "Link Sign"/"Code Sign" and the new voice procedure that was basically the one used by the enemy (with the serial numbers filed off and the colour changed from field grey to olive drab). "THE ENEMY LISTENS"

It's got sample net diagrams for armoured formations and an annexe with the procedure for indicating targets to supporting artillery - that includes a sample wireless diagram for an infantry battalion with supporting artillery.

Other net diagrams can be found in the Royal Signals Pocket Book, Part 2, Wireless Diagrams. (The 1945 issue was agreed upon in 1943/1944, I think.)

Have a look at royalsignals.org.uk/signals for what we've got so far.

(Someday I will draw that lot out as a 'family tree' with introduction and supersession/replacement dates, but not just yet.)
