'more remarkable telegraphist?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'remarkable telegraphist?' is the wordplay.
'remarkable' becomes 'signal' (signal can mean striking or noteworthy).
'telegraphist?' becomes 'ler' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'signal'+'ler'='SIGNALLER'
