I have also posted an interesting report on the type of conversations being picked up by the IT sets. The above report has the following incident:
Quote:

Some 5.9’s were dropping near a heavy Trench Mortar Battery and the operator on the IT set, overheard the F.O.O. call up the Bombardier in charge and ask whether damage was being done. The Bombardier replied “No, they are falling about 150 towards to our left, Sir”. Although the Hun had been pounding away for over an hour, it only took him fifteen minutes to switch and put the Mortar out of action, incidentally killing the Bombardier and all but one of the crew. This statement is vouched for, as the battery was not more than 200 yards from the IT Post.

Other conversations are in a report from 1917.
