On March 5th, 1953, Staff Sgt Cash was manning his post when he intercepted an important communique from the Soviets. He hastily transcribed a message explaining that Joseph Stalin was in poor health.
Cash continued transcribing morse code messages throughout the night until he eventually received word that Stalin had been pronounced dead.
