| Welcome to the RC Sigs Militaria Web Site! This site is intended to serve as an information source for all things to do with Military Signaling in Canada. In the Army this work was done principally by members of the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals, in the Airforce by the Telecommunications Branch and in the Navy by various groups. Currently the majority of these functions fall under the responsibility of the Communications and Electronics Branch consisting of Army, Airforce and Navy personnel. I started out with an interest in the badges, uniforms and accoutrements of the Signal Corps and that is where I began my 'digging' in the past (despite repeated warnings from Doug Hildebrand (Curator, C&E Museum) to "stop while you can.") Over time I became more interested in studying the history of the Corps and Canadian military communications, and later all its aspects. My Corps 'addiction' has enabled me to meet many knowledgeable and interesting people and, in an effort to capture their knowledge into an on-line reference, I began the RCSigs.ca Web Site.
As far as content goes, the site has a growing number of accoutrements, units, orders & authorities as well as a history section. The existing entries will be refined and new ones added on a continual basis so check back often. There is also a mailing list for those who wish to join a Signals related discussion group. RCSigs.ca will evolve to include more and more information about the Corps. The type of information that is added will depend greatly on you, the visitors to the site. Please let me know what you think of the site and what you wish to see in future additions. If you have a particular area of expertise and wish to contribute material, by all means, let me know that as well. As the site deals with a wide variety of subject areas, of which I'm an expert in none, there is a growing dependancy on contributed material. Please consider becoming involved in this important endeavor.
I hope you enjoy your visit to RCSigs.ca!
