Fullerphone, invented by A C FullerFirst World War period British Army telephone used in trenches for communication with Company and Battalion HQs. The Fullerphone was a portable DC line Morse telegraph, devised in 1915 by Captain (later Major General) A C Fuller of the Royal Engineers' Signal Service. The important feature of the Fullerphone was that its transmissions were practically immune from being overheard, which made the system at the time very suitable for use in forward areas.
