felicity.cleaves Posted 23 June , 2015 Share Posted 23 June , 2015 HI, I am reading the Diary of the 62nd Machine Gun Company and keep seeing S.O.S but don't think it means what we usually think it means. Can anyone interpret please? Felicity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss002d6252 Posted 23 June , 2015 Share Posted 23 June , 2015 Usually the SOS was a pre-arranged signal that a unit needed immediate support. The likes of artillery and MG's would open fire on pre-arranged targets in response to the SOS. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
