Line 1: − [[Image:Royal Corps of Signals.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Cap badge of the Royal Corps of Signals]]+ − The '''Royal Corps of Signals''' is a combat support "arm" of the [[British Army]], responsible for the installation, maintenance and operation of telecommunications equipment and information systems.+ − − ==History== − − [[Morse Code]] and electric [[telegraph]] were used for the first time in the [[Crimean War]] (1835-1837) and, following the Abyssinian War in 1867 a Signal Wing was formed by the [[Royal Engineers]] at Chatham, [[Kent]]. − In 1884, the '''Telegraph Battalion Royal Engineers''' was formed and served in the Nile Campaign and the Ashanti Campaign, during which men of the Telegraph Battalion cut a path for an overhead line from the Cape coast to Prahsu, 72 miles through jungle. The feat was such that [[King Prempeh]] offered the surrender of his Army, awed by their determination. King Prempeh's throne is now displayed in the Royal Signals Museum at [[Blandford]], [[Dorset]]. − − The Telegraph Battalion continued to operate communications during the [[Boer War]] until the Royal Engineer Signals Service was formed in 1908, which provided communications throughout [[World War One]]. Although planned since before the end of the war, a dedicated Signal Corps was not created until 1920. A Royal Warrant was signed by the Secretary of State for War, [[Winston Churchill]], who gave the [[George V|Sovereign's]] approval for the formation of a '''Corps of Signals''' on June 28 1920. Six weeks later, the King bestowed the title '''Royal Corps of Signals'''. − [[Image:Signallers.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Soldiers of the Royal Corps of Signals erecting a satellite ground station]] −
