By Marines do you mean Royal Marines

My grandad was in the Royal Marines during WWII. He'd never talk about his experiences with fighting, but did about some of his expeirences of his non fighting time in the far east. The main thing I remember though is that we used to get a clip if we said Marines forgetting the Royal bit .
