World War I marked the first time that the U.S. Army Signal Corps made combined use of telegraph, telephone and radio, in addition to motion pictures, photography and other new technologies. These documents of the 66th Congress provide an extensively detailed and illustrated discussion of all aspects of the development of the modern Signal Corps, its operations during the European campaign, how it developed its own technologies, and many examples of actual battlefield maneuvers employing telecommunications. Although technically a part of the annual report for the fiscal year 1919, General Squiers' report traces the entire 1917-1919 period of American involvement in the Great War and its immediate aftermath as it related to the Signal Corps.
