From the fog of war to the crackle of the radio wire, Signals: Story of the Australian Corps of Signals chronicles the remarkable history of one of the Australian Army's most vital yet underappreciated branches. Written and prepared by members of the Corps itself, this authoritative institutional history details the formation, evolution, and battlefield contributions of the Australian Corps of Signals — the men and women who kept communication alive across some of the most gruelling theatres of 20th-century conflict, from the muddy trenches of the Western Front to the steaming jungles of the Pacific. Presented with the insider knowledge that only those who served within its ranks could provide, this work stands as both a proud regimental record and an invaluable primary source for military historians. It illustrates the critical role that signals and communications technology played in shaping the outcomes of modern warfare, arguing convincingly that victory so often depended not just on firepower, but on the invisible threads of intelligence and coordination. Rich in personal accounts, operational detail, and Corps pride, this is a rare and compelling document — one that asks the reader to consider what would have been lost, had the line gone silent.
