The company then had several days' intense work during the battle with the infantry brigades requiring communication to be maintained from their advanced HQs in the support trenches to their main HQs and to their supporting artillery. The company also established a visual signal link back to DHQ, which proved of great value when signal cables were continually cut by artillery fire. In the subsequent fighting of 12–13 July, the division's cable lines were utilised when those of the attacking divisions were cut. 1245: 71: 681:. The signal company was unable to function properly without its transport and equipment, and had to rely on its motorcycle despatch riders. Much signal cable that was laid was wasted by the frequent movements of HQs, and casualties were heavy among signallers repairing shelled cable, while the wireless station at Gomiécourt was knocked out by a series of direct hits. The brigade signal sections suffered many casualties in the heavy fighting. On the afternoon of 25 March DHQ moved to 88: 1265:. Although 42nd Division dropped the 'East Lancashire' subtitle when it became an armoured formation, the signals unit retained the subtitle. The division returned to Barnard Castle to re-train in its new role. However, it never went overseas, and in October 1943 the division was disbanded and its units dispersed. The personnel of 42nd Armoured Divisional Signals were drafted to other units, though the unit continued to exist in name only. 727:– the Germans in front of 42nd (EL) Division began to withdraw. The division reorganised for open warfare, forming self-contained brigade groups, which required communications to be established quickly with cable barrows, wireless and improvised methods, particularly when supplies of cable ran short. The division was then relieved for rest on 5 September and the signallers scoured the old battlefields to salvage usable cable. 786: 1325:, the Allied invasion of Normandy. By this stage of the war divisional signals comprised about 28 officers and 700 ORs, with one company providing communications for DHQ, a second supplying sections to the divisional artillery units, and the third to the infantry brigade HQs, the reconnaissance regiment, the machine gun battalion and the divisional engineers. 703:, which was attached to 42nd (EL) Division for training.

By mid-1915 the decision was made not to supply drafts to the 1st Line 42nd (EL) Division from the 2nd Line 66th (EL) Division, but to form 3rd Line training units for the purpose.
