No It’s not.
« Crier » is a word that describes an elevation in vocal tone. You would need to add context to explain why that elevation occurs. « Battle cry » literally translates to « cri de guerre » or « war cry ». In the context of the last Morse code, it relates more to the technological nature of spreading over long distances, much like your voice would spread in a valley by crying with a bit of desperation like zloubida says because its their last use.
