Semaphore Signal
What is the origin of semaphore?
The only kinds of semaphore signaling I’m familiar with are hand flags and rope flags. (I’ve seen it, can’t do it myself) I’ll assume it’s origin is from a military design, but who’s and under what circumstances?Revolutionary artillarymen used semaphore to coordinate shelling as a battery, but I’m certain semaphore was used well before then.Any help out there?
Wow. I went through AIT as Signal and I had to look up “semaphore”. It was on my crest too. lol
“Its first use in battle was by Confederate Lieutenant Edward Porter Alexander at the First Battle of Bull Run in 1861.”
