Item Description
Original Items: Only One Group of 4 Available. Congress established the U.S. Army Signal Corps on March 3, 1863, and today it is in charge of communications and information systems support for the armed forces. During World War I the Signal Corps was responsible for communications. The most common association between this group and women during the war is the overseas service of 223 "Hello Girls" who operated long-distance switchboards at the American Expeditionary Forces headquarters in Chaumont, France. However, the Signal Corps had other responsibilities during the war, such as army aviation (until May 1918) and photography. The Photographic Section of the Signal Corps was established in June 1917, and it was responsible for the U.S. Army’s official ground and aerial photography of World War I.
The Following Is Included In This Group:
- Named Signal Corps Green Tunic: The tunic is a blank canvas featuring all button and snaps and collar devices for US and Signal Corps. No rank or any other devices are featured on this tunic. H.J.
