 <description><![CDATA[This is CSM Jim Kelly. He was my CSM at Merseyside (Morpeth dock) RMFVR, changed during my service (1963 - 1968) to RMR.  He was the nicest man you could meet and yet a very tough Commando. I was 18 years old, he was &quot;old&quot; (40!) I remember thinking how could this old guy possibly keep up with us on our 6 milers - he, of course, ran us into the ground (also drank us under the table).  He was part of the D Day invasion and, amongst other awards, was awarded the Croix de Guerre for his actions.  He and Sgt. Jerry Kelly (not related), would do a great version of &quot;the brothers Malone&quot;.  He taught me much and I still think of him very often.  What a great guy!  According to this site, he passed just a few years ago. RIP CSM. ]]></description>

 <description><![CDATA[Royal Marines Commando Kelly proudly wears his Green Beret with cloth dagger badge which means he is a WW2 Veteran, he appears to have a ‘Split’ Cap Badge and if so is a former Commissioned Officer or Warrant Officer, in the case of the latter he would either be a Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM) or Quarter Master Sergeant (QMS) in the Royal Marines during WW2 as Warrant rank was not introduced in the Corps until well after the War ended.]]></description>
