Military Dictionary and Gazetteer
signal service
In the U. S. army there is one chief signal-officer of the army, with the rank, pay, and emoluments of a brigadier-general, and 400 enlisted men. The chief signal-officer is assisted in his duties by commissioned officers detailed from the line for that purpose. In war times the Signal Service of the U. S. army is equipped to maintain communications by telegraph, signals, etc., between different sections of an army or armies, or between land and sea forces. The enlisted men are thoroughly drilled in the art of field telegraphy. In peace times the Signal Service has a corps of observers stationed in large towns, and important commercial centres, to give timely warning of the approach of storms, rise of rivers, and all other important weather news for the guidance of merchants and others.
Editors Contribution
signal service
During various wars I know that British and other soldiers who performed exceptionally well on the battlefield were often "mentioned in signals" which were essentially official messages from the military command. It was considered extremely prestigious to be mentioned by name. How many times a soldier was mentioned in signals was a source of pride and went on their "resume" so to speak.
