Follow Grace Banker's journey from her busy life as a telephone switchboard trainer in New York to her pioneering role as the Chief Operator of the 1st Unit of World War I telephone operators in the battlefields of France. With expert skill, steady nerves, and steadfast loyalty, the Signal Corps operators transferred orders from commanders to battlefields and communicated top-secret messages between American and French headquarters. After faithfully serving her country--undaunted by freezing weather and fires; long hours and little sleep, and nearby shellings and far off explosions--Grace was the first and only woman operator in the Signal Corps to be awarded the Army's Distinguished Service Medal."--Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 650 0 $a Telephone operators $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $v Juvenile literature. 610 10 $a United States. $b Signal Corps $b Signal Corps $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Distinguished Service Medal (U.S.) $v Juvenile literature. 700 1 $a Baddeley, Elizabeth, $e illustrator. 941 $a 20 952 $l TBPD706 $d 20240621011718.0 952 $l XSPE157 $d 20240423011241.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104020343.0 952 $l XCPB737 $d 20231107010104.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010022030.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201022212.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518025001.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20220406011418.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20220202010647.0 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20220201014429.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210803014611.0 952 $l OJPC027 $d 20210802141218.0 $m J BIO BAN 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722064920.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20210706010912.0 952 $l VHPA334 $d 20210603021018.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20210520010405.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20210403010937.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20210402014036.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20210330012003.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210211010429.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DD1B51D06C3611EB950DD8342DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
