Abstract:

The Office of the Command Historian, recognizing, the need for an authoritative source of information on the history of the Signal Corps for official speeches, press releases, newspaper articles, etc., has prepared this summary of Signal Corps History.

Myer to MG Peter A. Kind, biographical profiles of signal Corps Medal of Honor recipients, a photographic section, and an expanded and updated selective chronology. The photographs are part of the United States Army Signal Center and Fort Gordon USASCFG Archives located in the Command Historian Office, This volume should serve as the source of any statements made about the history of the Signal Corps. Any deviations should reviewed by the office of the Command Historian
