Signal Division (Royal Navy)
From The Dreadnought Project
The Signal Division of the Naval Staff was the constituent part of the Royal Navy's Naval Staff responsible for communications. The division was instituted on 18 August, 1917,[1] and emerged from the earlier Signal Section of the Admiralty War Staff set-up in 1914 under Rear-Admiral Sydney Fremantle.
History
On 8 September, 1914, the Admiralty directed that:
the Signal Committee shall be temporarily transferred from Portsmouth to London and attached to the Admiralty War Staff of which it will for the present constitute a Section.[2]
