Greetings one and all, apologies if I have chucked this in the wrong forum.
Unfortunately my SO's grandfather passed away last week. A great tragedy.
It transpires that he was in the Royals, having passed out on 11-1-64 as part of 799 Squad, Depot Royal Marines, Deal. We believe he spent 22 years in, finishing as a CPL, PR (Not sure what the PR stands for, if anyone could clarify would be grand).
My SO was going through his personal effects and such and found a box filled with really interesting stuff like his passing out photo, a picture of him with P Troop, 41 Commando on Formation and, interestingly, a medal of some sort.
Now it might just be a standard issue for being involved in something but it'd be great if anyone was able to identify it for us. I've also attached the 2 other aforementioned pictures just for your intrigue.
Cheers lads.
