48th Highlanders of Canada

[Jon Skagfeld]

Norm:

Since you were in from '39 to '48, perhaps Don Fletcher wasn't around then. My question was just a shot in the dark, anyway.

Reference Sigs guys listening to Axis Sally:

It is with pride that I say that Sigs types were always resourceful and could coax reception out of their sets which far exceeded the "normal" operational parameters. Hybrid antennae, strung from trees, etc, and against all the "rules", allowed the operators to gain access to transmissons (some of which were civilian) to the extent that the Signals Centre became a hub of information for the troops, who were mostly denied news of front line activities.
