I have a picture of Ted Salthouse!
I am going through my husbands Grandfather's photos etc and I have teased out that he was in Troop E and this just confirms it because I have a photo of him with Ted Salthouse and some others and Ted has signed the back! I would love to connect with whoever posted this.

The RMFVR was later retitled Royal Marines Reserve and after their conduct in support of the Regular Corps during recent conflicts have given the honour of dropping the RMR Shoulder Title on Blues and Lovats so now wear simple RM bronze and Stabright titles. The small later ‘R’ worn on Jersey Wool Heavy (JWH) referred to in the Corps as the ‘Woolly Pulley’, has also been dropped.
