MinorInHistory Posted June 18, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 18, 2020 I have this field phone that stumped me when I was inspecting it. It doesn’t seem to have a place for batteries and it has a different handset than what I typically see. The phone is dated 1944. I was told by someone that it was an artillery phone, but I wanted to see what other people thought. If more photos are needed to tell let me know. Thanks!

MinorInHistory Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted June 18, 2020 Yep, that looks about right! Is there any special purpose they were used for or were they used in the same role as the EE-8-B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jprostak Posted June 18, 2020 Share #4 Posted June 18, 2020 I have understood that these were good for front line units, because they could be made to not ring and they didn't need batteries. I can't remember what the what the range was, but they were good for forward listening posts to communicate with the defenses behind them. I can't document this at the present time, so it's just an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinorInHistory Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted June 19, 2020 I don’t doubt it, that sounds like something that they would have done. Thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
