Image description

During The Great War 1914-1918. A sailor seen signalling from one British warship to another. Depending on how the two flags were positioned, the combinations meant different letters and numbers. The advantage of using this manual signalling system was that messages not could be overheard, like when transmitting on radio frequency. The disadvantage is that bad weather and poor sight could make it difficult to see the flags and message. 1916
