This is an important new study examining the military operations of
the British Expeditionary Force in 1914-18 through the lens of its
communications system. Brian Hall charts how new communications
technology such as wireless, telephone and telegraph were used
alongside visual signalling, carrier pigeons and runners as the
British army struggled to develop a communication system adequate
enough to wage modern warfare. He reveals how tenuous
communications added to the difficulties of command and control
during the war's early years, and examines their role during the
major battles of the Somme, Arras, Ypres and Cambrai. It was only
in 1918 that the British army would finally develop a flexible and
sophisticated communications system capable of effectively
coordinating infantry, artillery, tanks and aeroplanes. This is a
major contribution to our understanding of British military
operations during the First World War, the learning processes of
armies and the revolution in military affairs.
