Vic Balsdon 42 Commando RM and 45 Commando RM

I joined the Royal Marines in 1959 on a nine year engagement and left in 1968.
During my service I spent two years in Singapore and other area of the Far East with 42 Commando RM at RNAS Sembawang and aboard HMS Bulwark.
I also served with 45 Commando RM in Aden as a member of Recce Troop.
In the UK, I qualified as a weapons instructor (PW2) at ITCRM as it was then known.
The attached pictures are of me and those I served with.
I have many more (not of me!) should the site moderators consider it appropriate.

The attached zip file would not open.
I'll try again.

PS My efforts to make this file open in a readable form have been unsuccessful, and there appears to be no option to remove it, so I'll have to call it a day.
My apologies to anyone that wasted time trying to read it.

Hi Vic

If you send me them by email (click on email just below this message) we can liaise direct and get them onto the gallery with relevant info on each.

All the best

Pete

Hi Pete
Thanks for your post and the offer to help out with posting my pictures.
Unfortunately, when I click on your email symbol, nothing happens.
I appear to be doomed to failure!
Kind regards
Vic
