The �Australian Corps of Signallers� was formed on 12 January 1906. This Corps remained as a self-contained unit, until the introduction of universal training in 1911, when it was merged with Australian Engineers.
The Corps now has a regular peacetime strength of some 300 officers and 2,300 other ranks. Its members are to be found in many parts of the world and in all states of Australia. Extrapolating these figures to include family members and descendants, a conservative estimate suggests broader �Corps Family� numbers in the order of 300,000 people.
