There are Official War Histories, specific Corps and unit histories and a few memoirs by Signalmen, but the Signal Service as a unique group of men has been overlooked. CEW Bean even apologised for omitting them from his works. This book collects those men for the first time. Jack the Rooster and his keeper Farrell illustrate that these men were ordinary people doing an extraordinary job undertaking emerging specialist roles in war.
The several hundred citations for gallantry makes for compelling reading. They are humbling by their mass. The work tells of leadership and faith in a just cause. These men set a wonderful example helping defend freedoms from tyranny. They are the antecedents of the Royal Australian Corps of Signals.
