Non-Divisional Signal Companies

[Hoplophile]

Can anyone provide examples of the numbering system used for non-divisional signal companies? I know that the Army Troops signals companies of the pre-war Territorial Force were named for their regional command (e.g. Western, Eastern, Northern, Scottish) and that some prewar signals companies bore letters rather than numbers. I don't know, however, how one identified the different army corps, army or GHQ signal companies.

In France in November 1918 it was as follows:

GHQ - L Signal Bn

1st Army Sig Coy, 2nd Army Sig Coy, etc

Corps Sig Coys were lettered

A - I Corps

B - II Corps

C - III Corps

D - IV Corps

E - IX Corps

F - VI Corps

G - VII Corps

L - XI Corps

N - XIII Corps

O - V Corps

P - XV Corps

R - XVII Corps

S - VIII Corps

T - XIX Corps

X - X Corps

Y - XXII Corps

There were also the Australian and Canadian Sig Coys which served their respective corps.
