| 説明 | This photograph provides an example of the resourcefulness that soldiers serving in World War I would sometimes have to demonstrate. Two Canadian soldiers are pictured fixing telephone lines to a captured German rifle embedded in the ground. Discarded ammunition lies in the right foreground.The job of a signaller was to send messages between the lines and command posts. In World War I telephone lines became the main method of sending signals, as the older methods of using lamps and flags would have given away field positions to the enemy. Even when buried underground the phone lines were vulnerable to shells and prone to breaking, and signallers suffered heavy casualties trying to maintain communications.[Original reads: 'Canadian Signallers using a German rifle as a telephone pole.']digital.nls.uk/74549212 |
