SQUADRON EMBLEM

Two Khukris point upwards, the hands crossed in saltire, the cutting edges of the blades inwards, between the blades the figure of Mercury on a globe, the latter supported above by a scroll bearing the motto 'Certa Cito' and below by nine laurel leaves, the whole surmounted by Saint Edward's Crown.

The badge was granted on 23 September 1954, which date is now the official Regimental Birthday. The Regimental title became 'Gurkha Signals' in 1955 and on 21 April 1977, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II approved the Title 'Queen's Gurkha Signals'. On 16 May 1983 Queen's Gurkha Signals restructured to a Regimental organisation.
