EDITORS COMMENTS
This annotated illustration from the Illustrated London News, published in 1937, captures the essence of radio-telephony communication during tank maneuvers in the British army during that time. The image depicts a company-commander, located in the turret of a tank in the foreground, giving orders to his section-commanders via wireless communication. The tank is diagrammatically represented, allowing viewers to see the driver and the commander inside. The commander is seen broadcasting an instruction to his right wing, or "section," of three tanks, instructing them to turn aside and engage anti-tank guns. The use of radio-telephony allowed for quick and efficient communication between commanders during military maneuvers, enabling them to make strategic decisions in real-time. The importance of effective communication in the military cannot be overstated, and the adoption of radio-telephony technology revolutionized the way commands were given and executed during tank maneuvers. This illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the British army's training methods during the pre-World War II era, showcasing the advanced technology and tactics used to prepare for potential conflicts. The illustration is a testament to the innovation and ingenuity of the military during this period, as they embraced new technologies to improve their capabilities and stay ahead of the curve. The use of annotated diagrams in the illustration further enhances its educational value, providing a clear and detailed representation of the communication process between tank commanders during maneuvers.
