The South African Corps of Signals, A three-part history: (1) Army Signals in South Africa - the Corps and its antecedents (2) Signal Units and related services (3) Nine Charlie - signallers in the field

摘要

This is a weighty record of a corps of signals almost as old as the Royal Corps of Signals upon which it based its symbols and traditions and from which it derived its motto, colours and modus operandi. The author/ editor, a former officer in the Citizen Force of the South African Corps of Signals (SACS), has put together a most comprehensive account of signalling in southern Africa from its beginnings well before the Boer War to almost the present day. The three large books, each of which runs to more than 600 pages, are sure to become the definitive account of military communications within South Africa's Army, spanning more than a century.
