Their focused expressions and determined posture speak volumes about their commitment to keeping communication lines open during such challenging times.
The telephonists in the photograph are wearing helmets with visors, a stark reminder of the constant threat they faced while carrying out their duties. Despite the danger surrounding them, these brave individuals remained steadfast in their mission to ensure that vital information could be relayed efficiently.
