It’s tough at the moment. News full of doom and gloom. Understandable that people are feeling really fed up when they can’t seem to catch a break and can’t see light at the end of the tunnel. Just remember you’re never alone. Stay positive. Be kind. My DMs are always open. 🤝

For 362 years the Royal Marines have been one of the world’s most capable and versatile fighting forces — from the decks of sailing ships to modern amphibious and special operations. Proud, professional, and often wearing a dress. Here’s to another year of excellence. Per Mare, Per Terram.

In 1918 during the First World War, British stretcher bearer William Coltman carried three wounded comrades to safety on his back under fire. Remember him for the men he refused to leave behind.
