Default Book. WW2 Signal Corps history

Some heavy reading

https://history.army.mil/html/books/..._Pub_10-18.pdf

Another one for bed time.

THE STORY OF 7 SIGNAL REGIMENT Had a quick look at this book or document or whatever it is. I spotted some bad errors in the types of equipment the authors have noted as being issued to this unit in the M.E. during 1941, such as a late WW2 British airborne receiver the R109 , I believe the authors have confused this receiver with the Aust. W.S. 109 which was in use in the M.E. during 1941.

The authors of this unit history have made little effort in researching the wireless equipment - they include a pic of a post-war Eddystone receiver that was built from the early 1950s to the late 1960s and used by hams, fishermen, govt. departments and more. The pic is supposed to depict a receiver as used by the 7 Sig Regiment in the Middle East in 1941.
