I'm intrigured to know what a wireless set C58 was
So am I... That's all that is mentioned in the official record, written just after WWII, and when I was working on my website I wrote to, and interviewed several ex-HG members and captured their memories. But the one person whom I tracked down out of Intelligence and Signals section, and who may just have remembered wasn't prepared to talk about her time there.

The record is a compilation of heads of the different battalions and companies, and there's the odd error, especially with the roll-call of members and their companies. But perhaps back then, the radio sets may have been described differently to how they are referred to now. Your assumption sounds reasonable given some equipment was provided from Canada and the USA.
