It was not until the Second World War and the subsequent Cold War years that Sigint finally came of age and played such a crucial role in defence of the free world. From the intercept and breaking of the German Enigma "E traffic codes in the second World War, to Operation Gold, during the Cold War; the joint British American mission which in 1954 involved building a tunnel from the American Zone in Berlin, designed to tap major Soviet phone communication facilities. An operation which although known and eventually exposed by the Soviet authorities, secured a huge amount of intelligence about the Soviet and East German command facilities. These reported and many unreported intercept coups heralded the fact that signal intelligence had finally evolved. This website has existed for ten years and has a predominant position and ranking on the www. It exists to embue the family traditions of the past Regiment and to remember all those who played their part in the sigint operation of the Cold war.
