Telegraphist

Telegraphist

Telegraphist is an operator who uses the morse code in order to communicate by land or radio lines. Telegraphists were indispenable at sea in the early day of Wireless Telegraphy. During the Great War the Royal Navy enlisted many volunteers as Telegraphists. Telegraphists are also called Telegraph Operators. This job doesn't just use men but has used women equally.
