Royal Signals flash?

[loupie1961]

a recent purchase: a cloth formation sign in the colours of the Royal Signals sporting a red horseshoe and a 2 digit. Possibly some sort of WW I R. Signals flash? thank you in advance for your knowledge, gents!

The patch is that of 2 Signal Brigade (R. Signals).
The first brigade patch was white over blue canvas with a red horseshoe and a red 2 in the centre. There were 13 nail holes in the horseshoe. Seven of the holes were on the right-hand side unlike later versions, which had seven on the left side. From 1992, 2 Signal Brigade personnel wore a black square patch with a horseshoe in red, in the centre of which was a red figure 2. A version of this was also issued in green with a black horseshoe. The 13 nail holes represent the now defunct 13 Signal Group.
