Royal Signals Shoulder Title
I think I know the answer, but I will ask the question anyway. Did the Royal Signals ever wear a shoulder title with yellow lettering on a green background?
Best wishes to all for Christmas and New Year. Phil. |

Hi Phil,
A happy Christmas to you too. 70 Signal Squadron did wear that colour combination as slip on titles for shoulder strap. I suspect not what you’re alluding to (these are slides, not sewn on, and the text is EY not SIGNALS) but just in case! Michael |

I can't think of any reason why they might have worn those colours although there may be a connection with this P sign recorded as worn by the Royal Signals TA unit in Kensington which for a while in the postwar period had the Phantom role.
This version of the P although recorded on a Royal Signals battle dress has never been properly identified. Jon |

Thanks, Michael and Jon. The one I was referring to is the curved cloth shoulder title with yellow ROYAL SIGNALS on a green background. Thanks guys for the reply.
Best wishes Phil. |

Phil, I cannot think why that colour combo would be used for the curved title.
I've taken a quick look through Harfield's excellent book on Signals badges and embellishments and all such titles included are blue. Any chance of an image? My feelings are I am sure the same as yours but would be interested to see the item in question. M |

Yes, I have Have Major Harfields book as well.
Here is the title I was asking about. Phil. |

Are you sure it is yellow on green? Perhaps the flashlight makes the colours look different.
