The Worshipful Company of Information Technologist "Through" Award 2024

‘Through’ by Francis Martin 1915. Francis Martin enlisted in the Royal Engineers Signal Service in March 1915 servicing in France with a Cable Section until 1917. On his return to England, he painted ‘Through’ which made an immediate impact upon all ranks of the Signals Service. The painting of commitment and personal sacrifice captures the essence of this award.

The Worshipful Company of Information Technologists adopted “Through” as an award title in 2012. They are one of the livery companies of the City of London. The company was granted livery status by the Court of Aldermen on 7 January 1992, becoming the 100th livery company in order of precedence. The company is affiliated with the Royal Corps of Signals.

The ‘Through’ Award is presented to a soldier, non-commissioned officer or warrant officer from the Royal Corps of Signals who has made an exceptional contribution to the provision of information services on operations, in support of operations or in supporting the training of others preparing for operations, while displaying conspicuous levels of innovation and determination. This year’s award was presented to WO2 Graham Loney during the Worshipful Company of Information Technologists Summer Banquet at the Mansion House, London on 10th July 2024.
