Best Answer

Officers used brass or nickel whistles to communicate to their soldiers in the heat of battle usually over machine gun fire and artillery fire. They would use the whistle at first to send the soldiers 'over the top' and then generally have signals like 2 blows for right and 1 for left according to how the battle was taking shape as well as if need be to signal retreat.
