A commemorative sculpture has been unveiled at Simpson Barracks in Victoria to celebrate the centenary of the Royal Australian Corps of Signals.
The new sculpture commemorates the service, sacrifice and contribution of Signals personnel and their families over the past 100 years.
The unveiling was attended by her royal highness, the Princess Royal, Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Australian Corps of Signals; representatives from sponsor PentenAmio; and official corps charity, the Certa Cito Foundation.
“Art, and in this case the Certa Cito Centenary Sculpture, gives life and meaning to experience. It turns a story we carry in our heads into something we can touch, return to and share,” said Brigadier (Ret’d) Alison Creagh AM CSC, Certa Cito Foundation president.
“This work is the foundation’s gift to the corps, designed by signallers, shaped by the ideas of veterans and their families, and brought to life with the support of our community.”
The “Swift and Sure” sculpture was co-designed by serving members, veterans, their families and PentenAmio employees. It’s designed to reflect the corps’ evolution from early signalling methods to advanced digital networks and modern cyber capabilities.
PentenAmio group executive director and AU CEO Sarah Bailey said PentenAmio congratulates the Royal Australian Corps of Signals on 100 years of service, innovation and resilience, and acknowledges the enduring role of signallers in keeping Australia connected and protected.
“This sculpture represents more than history. It reflects a century of technological progress and adaptability,” she said.
“Supporting the Certa Cito Foundation and this project aligns with PentenAmio’s mission to deliver secure, sovereign solutions that keep Australia and its allies connected and protected.”
