Wireless Set No. 10

WS10 was a communications system developed for use in the north african desert war. It has been described as a precursor to the mobile phone. The design and development team was headed by Zygmunt Jelonek, a Polish national who came to Britain at the start of WW2. After the war ended he received a telegram from general Montgomery thanking him and the team for their effort. Zygmunt Jelonek was my father.
