Royal Signals Association
Formation of the Royal Signals Association (RSA)
The Royal Signals Association (RSA) was formed in 1920 at the birth of the Corps from the Royal Engineers.
The RSA exists for both serving and ex-Royal Signals personnel.
The objects of the Association
To provide comfort and relief either generally or individually to past and present signallers and their dependants who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress.
To foster comradeship and morale within the Corps family, serving and retired.
Structure
Working within Regimental Headquarters Royal Signals, based in Blandford Camp, Dorset, are the Welfare Section and the Membership Section.
The Welfare Section assists signallers by way of grants of money or paying for items to reduce hardship and distress.
The Membership Section maintains records of all the branches and affiliated associations located throughout the country, plus their members. The Membership Secretary helps members trace former friends in the Corps. Any person who served with the Corps (Regular, TA or National Service), including attached ATS and WRAC is eligible to join The Association.
