The Royal Corps of Signals, founded in 1920, has a rich history of gallantry and distinguished services on operations worldwide. To commemorate its centennial in 2020, the Royal Signals Institution published a volume that records all honours, decorations, and medals awarded since 1920. This comprehensive volume includes a wealth of long-forgotten and rarely-seen material, as well as many hundreds of awards that acknowledge the complexity of Royal Signals in its early years. The volume comprises three parts: Section One takes a chronological tour through the history of Royal Signals in three eras: the campaigns of the inter-war years, the Second World War, and global conflict and insurgency since 1945. Other chapters deal with non-combatant gallantry and exploration. Section Two describes the various honours, decorations, and medals in three sub-sections: awards for bravery, awards for distinguished service, and the Mention in Despatches and the various King's and Queen's commendations for bravery and valuable service. The origin and use of these awards are also explored. The volume is a valuable resource for historians, military enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the history of the Royal Signals.
