Abstract :
Communication equipment of varied kinds and in seemingly great quantities is provided for an infantry division in the United States Army. Each item is designed with characteristics to fit it for a particular function in the over-all communication pattern. Nevertheless, as the 104th Infantry Division battled its way through Europe, many problems arose that required improvised solutions to adapt standard equipment to the needs of themoment.
