The following is a history of the activities of the Royal Corps of Signals of the British Army while stationed in Malta.
[1] The section expanded in World War Two and in 1940 was renamed Malta Command Signals.
There were dedicated chambers to accommodate signals intelligence and also the Royal Observer Corps which had started operating from Malta late in 1942.
It was one of the regular post-war units in the Royal Corps of Signals and had direct links to Boddington and Episkopi in Cyprus.
The squadron ran a major tape-relay station for COMCAN which consisted of a tape-relay centre at Fort Bingemma, a transmitter station at Fort Zonqor and a receiver at Ta' Wied Rini.
