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

1918 is an experiment?
