Their Drill matched any Kings Squad! The last NS Squad was going thru Lympstone in 1959 where I was undergoing a Regular Training. To our chagrin they already had the SLR whilst we still had .303 Lee Enfield No: 4 Rifle in use since 1944.

Royal Marines National Servicemen carried out 26 weeks rigorous training including the full 6 week Commando Course either at Bickliegh, or later at Lympstone before being awarded a well earned Green Beret. They went on to soldier in some tough and dangerous places and always a Credit to The Corps and themselves, Salute!
