Keith Brannen Posted 18 April , 2019 Share Posted 18 April , 2019 More information from the War Diary. It appears that the Rocket System was for sending message bearing rockets (each battalion in the attack may have had the same number of rockets) to the various posts listed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a bit of planning involved, and in the end the attack was cancelled due to the failure of the 61st Division on their left to take Hill 35!

GreyC Posted 2 May , 2019 Share Posted 2 May , 2019 Hi, I enjoyed reading the thread, so I´d like to contribute this from my collection. A British carrier-pigeon-wagon (don´t know the correct term, sorry) capture by German forces. GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmac101 Posted 2 May , 2019 Share Posted 2 May , 2019 During the German attacks of March 1918 some units used radio for comms when telephone lines were destroyed. The officers used Hindi and Urdu, learnt when serving in India, in an attempt to prevent the Germans easily decoding the messages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
