Raymond Tebble joined the Royal Marines in 1940 aged 17 and served until 1948.
Service
05.1941 Atlantic - aboard HMS Rodney during the battle with the German battleship Bismarck.
05.1942 Madagascar - aboard the Ramillies before transferring to the Anthony for the assault.
09.1943 Salerno - RM Corporal on HM LCG(L) 2. Mentioned in Dispatches.
06.1944 Normandy - aboard No 18 on the Trout Line.
11.1944 Walcheren - aboard LCS(L) 252 when the craft was sunk.

Post war deployments with 3 Commando Brigade RM included escorting Japanese POW's from Hong Kong back to Japan; Palestine; and Malta before his discharge.
Citation for MID
H.M.L.C.G. 2
This craft had an engagement with a Coastal Defence Battery of 76 and 88 mm guns at 1106, 9th September 1943 in the Gulf of Salerno. The action lasted until 1115 by which time there was no reply from the enemy who had, however, scored numerous hits on the craft. Cpl. Tebble was Captain of 'B' Gun and the high rate of fire and steadiness of the crew while under fire and after 3 of the crew had been severely injured was due very largely to the coolness, determination, and excellent example of this Marine.
