Is there a source that contains all of the British Squadron Emblems or Markings used during the Great War?

RFC

RNAS

RAF (after 4/1/1918)

Try rafweb.org

If you go to the squadron listings, you'll find that each squadron has a link to profiles of its aircraft, and the squadron symbols are discussed where appropriate.

British squadron insignia can best be described as formation signs. And they change periodicly.

If you can find a copy of "Aircraft Camouflage and Markings 1907-1954" by Bruce Robertson and published by Harleyford, there is a section which covers aircraft markings for about 64 British squadrons for 1917-1918. I have a copy and I've noticed that my local library carries a number Robertson's books, so there might be a chance one near you may also have a copy.
