Military units used Semaphore Flag Signaling up
through World War I (1914-1918), and Boy Scout units until they obtained war surplus walkie talkies in
the late 50s. The US Army Signal Corps insigina is still a pair of crossed semaphore flags for signaling
by day, and a tourch for signaling by night.
