This is a work in progress

This site  is a long-term project which will provide background information on the people and places involved in American radio intelligence and cryptologic work during World War I. It will supplement the narrative in my  book From the Ground Up: American Cryptology During World War I .

The first goal for this site is to provide a memorial for the people involved. I will document the names of all known American cryptologists who served during the war along with what we know about these men and women.

I also plan to document the various radio intelligence collection sites used both in the United States and in France and provide details on their operation, equipment, and staffing.
