British Army 222 Signal Squadron CBRN Hood Up July 2026 Photo Print

A soldier of 222 Signal Squadron, Royal Corps of Signals, British Army, pulls the hood of his CBRN smock up and over his respirator during Exercise RANGER HOPTON at Sennybridge Training Area in Wales on 22nd July 2026. He grips the edge of the hood with both bare hands, his face just visible behind the lenses. A tan glove hangs from his chest webbing, and a woodland track fades out of focus behind him. The squadron spent the week living in the field, patrolling and rehearsing counter CBRN drills alongside fire team and defensive work. The Royal Corps of Signals was formed in 1920 and provides the British Army's communications and information systems, from headquarters networks to the front line. 222 Signal Squadron is part of 22 Signal Regiment, based at Beacon Barracks in Stafford. Signallers are soldiers first, and field exercises such as this keep their infantry skills and protective drills up to standard alongside their trade work. Sennybridge, on the northern edge of the Brecon Beacons, has been one of the Army's main live training areas since the Second World War. This print is ideal for Royal Signals and British Army veterans and anyone with a connection to 222 Signal Squadron or 22 Signal Regiment.
