Hi Charlie

I suppose it would depend on how long ago they were taken. The Royal Navy have a small photographic unit and an imagery database online for some of their recent photos https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/news-and-latest-activity/public-relations/royal-navy-imagery

If it's not recent then you could contact the Royal Marines Historical Society for their advice

Hi Charlie
If you are no longer in touch with any of your former squad/troop mates, then there are a few random pictures on the website: put in a search for "commando training at CTCRM" and the era - say, 1970s or whatever, and click on "Images."
Any there, however, are pretty unlikely to be of your squad/troop.
What has already been suggested above may produce some results, but their resources are limited and it depends on how far their records go back. The RN photographers usually turned/turn up at official occasions or when asked to record a significant event.
There used to be a major at the RM Historical Dept. called Mark Bentinck; brilliant bloke, but I don't think that he's still around. He may even have crossed the bar.
You may also try googling "Royal Marines Signal Training Wing" and see where that leads.
There is also a website called OAMAAM (onceamarinealwaysamarine) where former booties (and a few others, including ladies) swing the lamp and wind each other up - in the nicest possible way, of course. Someone on there may have been a squadmate of yours, or may have some photos that they are prepared to share.
I hope that you manage to find what you want.
Regards
Aye
Vic
