Re: Phonographs that were brought into the trenches in WW1
The Columbia advert showing a floor model was clearly aimed at the home market.
Portability was the main requirement for use in the trenches, hence the success of the Decca.
Carrying a Victor table model to safety whilst under fire would have been far more difficult.
