    G'day All

    Can anyone shed some light on this unit? It is missing the battery unit. I'd love to see another Commonwealth counterpart

    Just going back through old posts from before I joined the forum, seeing if there is any I can help with. This one is right up my street....

    Wireless Remote Control Units F are part of the Wireless Set No 22 equipment. They are a pair; No 1 attaches to the set itself, and the No 2 is attached to it via a long telephone cable. allowing the set to be operated from a distance. Additionally, the Remote Control Units can also attach to a telephone exchange, allowing the WS22 to be used over the phone network. This one is for the Australian version of the set. I have both units for the British set (and the WS22).

    Telephone Set H is a sound powered telephone used for relatively short distances and not needing a power supply. Used a lot on coastal batteries i believe.

    Telephone Set L is a portable telephone used mainly by linesmen for line testing.

    Telephone Set D Mark V is the standard WWII field telephone used in all units below Divisional HQ. Artillery regiments used a lot of these! They were usually known as 'Don-Fives'.

    Telephone Set F is the standard WWII field telephone used in all units from Divisional HQ and above.

    I have most of the British or Canadian versions of this equipment, although your Ds, F and H are certainly British-made. i will photograph and compare it for you no problem
