Some of us older ones will remember the Torrey Canyon oil tanker breaking up off the coast of Cornwall in 1967. 41 Commando RM were involved and there are some good images of some of the Marines helping in this newsreel footage:

God and the Soldier, all men adore, In time of danger and not before.
When the danger is passed and all things righted, God is forgotten, and the Soldier slighted.
