Choctaw Code Talkers of WWI



The picture above shows some of the Choctaw codetalkers. this is a image taken before 1918.

=//The ideal of Choctaw Code talk//= = = In World War One there were major issues that involved phones calls being overheard by the German forces. It was fairly certain that the German spy's could interrupt any type of phone call to hear every and anything little thing they could. The untied States came up with a lot of creative ideas of technology but as time past none of them were good enough. One type of idea they had was trech codes. Trech codes worked for a while but not as long as needed. The Germans found a way to crack in between the code. Sending messages from camp to camp never worked out as planed because the Germans would capture the messengers. Since the ideas that were thought either didnt work because the Germans found out how to understand the code or didnt work because the germans would capture the messegers that were send to deliver messages from camp to camp, Captian Lewis, which was the commander at time and very intelligent thought of a ideal code. the Choctaw code by American Indians. Captian Lewis soon realized that the American Indian code was very hard, and an extreme cloplex and difficult to learn. So he capitalized the complexity as a code employing eight Choctaw Indians that later got involved during the Mousse-Argonne campaign. This was the final push of the German war.

**//What did they do?//**
The eight Indians involved in this code were...


 * Solomon Lewis
 * Mitchell Bobb
 * Ben Carterby
 * Robert Taylor
 * Jeff Nelson
 * Pete Maytubby
 * James Edwards
 * Calvin Wilson

These were Navajo Indians from Arizona. Working in the war, the men soon realized that there job wasn't as easy as they thought it would be. The jobs of the Indians were to speak their language over the phone and translate it to english. they also had to write everything down from code to english written filed orders that were carried by the "runners" between the two. These men were only used at the end of the war and in the Mousse-Argonne campaign. These eight men were highly appreciated by their battalion commander and company and was promised metals. The Choctaw coder talkers were not only used in World War one but also in World War two. There has been no more records of this code being used.
