69 (NIH) Signal Squadron Limavady Detachment

Royal Signals Corps Colours

About the Squadron

The Squadron was formed in 1967 as part of 32 (Scottish) Sig Regt, it was based in the city of Londonderry and in 1993 moved to Limavady from Clooney Camp. Its role was part of the home defence network through out the UK as a post nuclear strike communications for civil authorities

On 1 April 1995, following a further reorganisation of the Territorial Army, 69 (North Irish Horse) Signal Squadron came under the command of 40 (Ulster ) Signal Regiment command from 32 (Scottish) Signal Regiment and brought an HF radio capability to the Regiment. This was part of 11 Signal Brigade.

The Army deployments to Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq have seen a large number of the Regiment completing operational tours in support of the regular army.

The transfer to 2 (NC) Sig Bde has resulted in a reorganisation of the Regiment reducing the number of field squadrons to two. 66 and 69 Squadrons have amalgamated to become 69 (North Irish Horse) Signal Squadron with troops based in both Limavady and Belfast.

The squadron since it formation, has never had any security role in the province.
