I highly recommend Jeremey P. Amick’s “Camp Crowder” (Arcadia Press) for any members of the WWII Signal Corps and family of those trained at the Midwestern Signal Corps Training Center, Camp Crowder, in Neosho, Missouri.
My late father, Felix A. Cizewski trained there from May 1942 to December 1943.
I would also recommend this book for families of Signal Corps veterans who trained elsewhere since similar books do not seem to exist about the WWII Signal Corps training facilities at Camp Kohler in California or Camp Murphy in Florida.
The experience of trainees that Jeremy Amick portrays would have been nearly identical for them and would give insight to families.
Arcadia Publishing also publishes “Fort Monmouth”, which includes the WWII era when it was known as the Eastern Signal Corps Training Center.
Jeremey Amick uses photos from the Museum of Military History, Missouri State Archives, private collections and his own collection for images that our WWII Signal Corps family have not seen before.
He begins the story with the construction of Camp Crowder and illustrates its WWII peak where 40,000 men and women served and 2000 Nazi POWs were interned. He concludes with the camp’s status today including remnants of the WWII era camp, remains of a Cold War era Air Force rocket engine testing area, and the parts now used by Crowder College and the Missouri National Guard.
Photos include the visits by Benny Goodman, Cary Grant, and Joe Louis to entertain the troops.
Celebrities who trained at the camp include Carl Reiner, Dick Van Dyke. Amick showcases Mort Walker, whose comic strip “Beetle Bailey” was based on his WWII experiences at Camp Crowder.
His history is complete, including the ruins of the segregated part of the camp where African-American Signal Corps troops were trained. He shows the African-Americans’ unequal facilities such as outdoor latrines instead of indoor plumbing.
While at Camp Crowder, my late father trained in Company A, 33rd Signal Training Battalion; Company A, 804th Signal Training Battalion; Company E, 840th Signal Training Battalion; Company C, 840th Signal Training Battalion; and the Open Wire Repair Section of Company M, 847th Signal Training Battalion.
In December 1943 he was assigned to Open Wire Repair Section, Company C, 3110th Signal Service Battalion, Army Service Force. He was deployed to England in February 1944 and to Normandy in July 1944.
Amick included images of the cover of “Basic Notes”, a Camp Crowder license plate, and a 1943 Thanksgiving program and menu for Company A, 840th Signal Training Battalion. Similar items were among late father’s artifacts from his time at Camp Crowder.
This 127 page paperback is available for $21.99 from Arcadia Publishing:

My dad was stationed there from 1943-44 and from their he was shipped off to the Aluetians. I’m still not sure if he was in the Signal Corp or the Engineering Battalion. I’m still seeking information.

My apologies for having missed your comment. If your father trained at Camp Crowder, he most likely served in a Signal Corps unit in the Aleutians. Let’s work together to figure that out. Your contact information is blocked so I can’t get in touch with you except through comments.

My Dad was stationed at Adak. I talked to my aunt recently, my dad’s sister. She thought he might have been a teletype operator. He was a tech Corporal grade 5.
If any of that helps.
Thanks for your reply

Hi John, I found your email through your WordPress profile. I will send an email tomorrow to discuss how we can identify your father’s unit.
