A new photography exhibition depicting the diverse roles of female soldiers and officers has been launched to mark International Women's Day. The showcase is a collaboration with Royal Signals Women in Technology Network, sponsored by Spectra Group Ltd.
The Royal Corps of Signals - the British Army's communications, IT, and cyber support specialists - have one of the most diverse roles of any cap badge. This exhibition, capturing every rank from Signaller to General, demonstrates not just the range of opportunities available but also the extraordinarily talented women that the Corps attracts.
Lt Col Vanessa McDermott, President of the Royal Signals Women in Technology Network said:
‘The Royal Signals has a long history of supporting women in their military careers to achieve their full potential. We’ve used International Women’s Day 2024 as an opportunity to showcase just some of these amazing women of whom we are so proud. From Signaller to Lieutenant General – you can see it and you can be it!’
Lt Col McDermott established the Network in 2018 as a forum to encourage dialogue, cooperation and personal development within an engineering context. The Network currently has over 500 members.
The Royal Signals Women in Technology Exhibition has been curated by Maj Johanna Mayhead at Headquarters Royal Signals, in collaboration with the Royal Signals Museum. The majority of photographs were taken, selected and edited by serving Royal Signals soldiers.
The display will be unveiled at the Royal Signals Museum and exhibited between 7 March and 12 April. The exhibition will tour a range of venues throughout the summer including the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, Army Headquarters and Pirbright, where Phase 1 training takes place. As many people, both serving and civilian, are encouraged to visit.
