The regiment was formed in 1967 by the amalgamation of 65th Signal Regiment and 92nd Signal Regiment, with some personnel from the disbanded Queen's Own Oxfordshire Hussars at Banbury.[2][3] In 1969 the regiment absorbed part of R (Tower Hamlets) Battery from the disbanded Greater London Regiment, Royal Artillery.[4]
In 2000, the North Somerset Yeomanry designation was revived for the Headquarters Squadron of 39th (Skinners) Signal Regiment[10] and, in 2008, that squadron, as 93 (North Somerset Yeomanry) Squadron, became the Regiment's Support Squadron.[11]
