Looking for suggestions

[everclay]

Hi i'm looking for suggestions on books about Signalers in the great war.

Since you all seem so knowledgeable and well read on the great war i was hoping somebody could reccomend some reading or point me in the right direction as i'm having troubles finding anything myself. I prefer a personal narrative/memoir but fact based books are more then welcome.

Anybody?

The definitive book is The Signal Service ( France). One of the volumes in, Work of the R.E. in the European War 1914-19. Compiled by R. E. Priestley. Reprints are available from N&M Press. A good description of the problems faced and how they were solved.
