About SSG. Simmons Parker, Comanche Code Talker, WW II
Elaine Parker
My dad is the 2nd one from the left on the bottom row, Sgt. Simmons Parker. Very proud of all of them. They trained for a year at Fort Benning in the U.S. Army Fourth Signal Corp. My dad told me that they devised a code within a code, translating military terms and words into Comanche. There was no Comanche words for bomber planes, machine gun, tanks for example, so they had to come up with Comanche words for them. Tanks were called wah kaw day, which means turtle in Comanche. Bomber planes became pregnant bird in Comanche.
