Royal Marines Squad Photos

On the 7th March 1918 the Kings Badge and Kings Squad was instituted by King George V.

Until we serve in a 'Kings Squad' and receive our Green Beret we are not classed as Royal Marines

Our Kings Squad photo is the most important piece of information to record all who eventually became  Marines. It also picks up on those who were back squadded

The Deal photo will show all who joined up

The Royal Marines Historical Society have published a book on the subject.

The change over from Squads to Troops was during March 1971.

John Bates remembers he was a member of the 938 Squad for a week before it changed to 1 Troop

I would like to thank all those who have assisted me during the past few years,
I have enjoyed the Journey Royal.
