2 Signal Regiment A year in the life of 2 Signal Regiment Staff and Personnel Support Detachment
Freedom of York By Corporal Natalie Scarah
In May 2022 Private Mulkerrin and I were selected to participate in the Freedom of York Parade with 2 Signal Regiment. The day consisted of marching through York town centre followed by a parade where troops were inspected by HRH Princess Anne. Pte Mulkerrin described the day as ‘’a special opportunity that doesn’t come around often, I was full of pride representing my Corps.”
BAWF Army Finals.
Following the parade, a small number of the Regiment attended a meet and greet with HRH Princess Anne inside York Minister. I would describe this as a defining career moment and something I will never forget. After the meet and greet I attended a lunch in the mayor’s house, which was an honour. Altogether this was an amazing day.
am looking forward to competing in future competitions and hugely encourage more females to jump on board.
Exercise MALTESE CROSS KEYS By Staff Sergeant Mark Evans
Exercise MALTESE CROSS KEYS saw 31 personnel deploy on a battlefield study to Malta GC to explore the strategic importance of such a small island in the Mediterranean during WW2. The battlefield study was made up from a mixture of cap badges across 2 Signal Regiment, utilising the strong fraternal connection from the AGC including Major Andy Common (ETS), Captain Mark Hanthorne (ETS), Captain John Kenny (SPS), Staff Sergeant Mark Evans (SPS) and Lance Corporal Abbie Prendergast (SPS). The study was conducted across the length and breadth of Malta exploring Mellieha Air Raid Shelters, Dhingli Cliffs where early radar was sited, Imtarfa cemetery, Mdina (The Silent City), Valletta’s Saluting Battery, the Lascaris War Rooms, the Imperial War Museum of Malta, the Aviation Museum of Malta and Fort St Elmo.

British Army Warrior Fitness By Sergeant Carly Armstrong
2 Signal Regiment have competed in several competitions as part of the Northern League and the workouts have been different each time. The events consisted of 4 arduous workouts, which had to be completed by 3 members of the team, ensuring all members competed in a minimum of 2 workouts. An example workout is: 4 rep max front squat; 5 x 20m shuttle; 100 deadlifts @ 50kg, 100 power clean @ 40kg, 100 ground to overhead @ 30kg (between each team); 2-mile loaded march. As you can tell it was by no means easy, but the team always put in maximum effort and pulled together.
We won the Northern League and qualified for the Army Finals held at ATR Winchester on 6th July 2022 where we placed 6th. I felt so proud of everyone who chose to be a part of the team, this was a huge achievement and something I will never forget. I have thoroughly enjoyed the training and being part of a hard-working and extremely dedicated team. I
The battlefield study was a great opportunity to showcase the interoperability between the branches within the AGC. We planned, executed and delivered a conceptual study that was well received, whilst enhancing the lived experience of Soldiers and Officers in 2 Signal Regiment.
