Description

The Royal Marine Corps traditionally attracts the most highly motivated and intelligent recruits; to pass the Commando course as well as to learn a wide variety of modern military skills demands a well-balanced mix of brains and beef. Like any force that attracts this type of man, once it has tested and trained him the Corps accepts him into a close-knit and self-confident family. With the aid of numerous photographs, and eight superb full page colour plates by Paul Hannon, William Fowler explores the history, uniforms and equipment of the Royal Marines from 1956-84.
