Ken Divall, a former regular soldier in the Royal Engineers, explores a range of resources, including records at The National Archives, the National Maritime Museum, the Imperial War Museum and the British Newspaper Archive.
Chapters cover a detailed history of the Royal Marines, and how to research your Royal Marine ancestor. Ken writes with erudition and enthusiasm for his subject, crafting a book of reference that covers everything from war medals, to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, to online records.
"I wish I had had access to a book such as this when I was writing my history of the Royal Marines."
Major General Julian Thompson
