No worries Scott  :)

For those interested in the tac plate. It is the RASig's white over blue. The number is red and reads 2 over 303.

Cheers.

No idea. I believe it goes back to when 2 Sig was known as the 3rd Lines of Communication Signal Regiment and perhaps even further to the 3rd Army Signal Regiment (circa 1954).

Cheers.

In the late '80s and early '90s the regiment had two regular army signal squadrons (110 & 145) and a reserve signal squadron (111). It also had a regular support squadron and a regular vehicle workshop.

Cheers,

Pete
