Über diesen Titel

 At just twenty-six, A P Corcoran had already led a life full of adventure, sailing around the globe twice, immersing himself in diverse cultures, hunting in Africa, and working on a ranch in Bolivia. As tensions mounted in Europe and war loomed between Austria, Serbia, Germany, and France, he made a daring escape back to England, arriving just in time to heed the call for volunteers to join the British Army. When a special appeal was made for university men to form the first corps of motorcycle despatch riders, he eagerly signed up with the Royal Engineers Signal Section. Throughout the war, these brave riders were the lifeline of communication, carrying crucial messages amid the chaos of battle. Rising from corporal to captain, A P Corcoran transitioned from despatch riding to Brigade Signal Officer, overseeing vital communication systems. His unwavering dedication and that of his comrades ensured that essential information flowed between all fighting units in the field. “Deliver your despatch at all costs...” became their rallying cry.Copyright International Ambient Sounds Kunst Sozialwissenschaften Welt Wissenschaft
