The Corps of Signals was established by Royal Warrant on 28 June 1920. Six weeks later, on 5 August, the title ‘Royal Corps of Signals’ was conferred by King George V.
From its earliest days the Corps has been engaged in operations across the globe and its officers and soldiers have been duly recognised for their gallantry and valuable service. In celebration of the Royal Corps of Signals centennial, this book records the honours, decorations and medals awarded to all ranks since 1920.
In parallel, here will be published stories discovered during the course of the research, with an emphasis on active operations and gallantry.
