Hi all.

I have some photos to share.

1) The young recruit, 1941.

2) Royal Marines Gunnery Training - Sea Service Battery at Eastney

3) On return to England after spending VE day in Hamburg


Strictly speaking the first two have nothing to do with B Troop 45 Cdo as my father joined the Cdo late in WW2 (after joining the RM in 1941), but I can make up for that with additional photos, as he was in the Service until the mid 1970's.

(EDIT: Sorry, the pics came out in reverse order!)

hi Mary,
Thanks for sharing your father's photos with us.

I have started an sub-Album in the 45RM Cdo Album in the Gallery and will add the photos over the next few days.

Cheers, Nick.

I'm grateful to the CVA Forum in turn, for enabling me to share the pictures.
