Quote 23 Brave Men Laying Communication Wires (2:01)
Three artillery batteries – used wired telephones for comm. Because the vacuum tubes in the radios could not stand up to the vibration of the guns
Men would string wire between the batteries and the fire control center
Two men with a spool - risking possible landmines, snipers, live fire
If a wire failed, had to go back out and check it
They were heroes
