ENGLAND, United Kingdom -- U.S. Army Soldiers part of the 56th Signal Battalion, V Corps, celebrate Christmas day together, December 25, 1942, England. The 56th Signal Battalion was a key communications unit of the U.S. Army Signal Corps during World War II, specializing in providing wire, radio, and messenger networks for corps-level operations. Reactivated on January 23, 1941 at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, from cadre of the 50th Signal Battalion, it drew personnel from selective service draftees and was initially assigned to I Corps. By mid-1942, it had reorganized and deployed to Europe as part of the buildup for the Allied Invasion of Normandy. The battalion’s role in England during late 1942 was focused on training and preparation while attached to V Corps under the First U.S. Army. (U.S. Army photo illustration by Sgt. Devin Klecan)
