Abstract

The application of wireless communications to the conduct of military operations was one of the transformational technologies of the 20th century. In the UK, despite this importance, it is a topic that has received relatively little attention from historians of technology and industrial archaeologists. This article briefly reviews the development of military communications technology and its archaeological and architectural legacies.
