The Australian Corps of Signallers was formed on the 12th January 1906. This Corps remained as a self contained unit, until the introduction of the universal training in 1911, when it was merged with Australian Engineers. In 1912, signals troops and companies formed portion of the Corps of Australian Engineers and served as such throuoghout World War I, all signals units were seperated from the Australian Corps of Engineers.
