Royal Marines
Commandos - The Inside
Story Of A Force
For The Future
£9.99
The Royal Marines were originally formed under the auspices of the Royal Navy to guard its sailing ships from harm. They are proud of their history & origins but the Navy heritage is fading.

John Parker charts how the units have moved away from their nautical beginnings to develop, over time, into the most versatile force in the British military, containing one of their most elite brigades. The Royal Marines Commandos have, over the past few years, developed into the premier fighting organisation on l&, sea & air.

This history deals with events associated with the Royal Marines & subsequently in their commando role, starring in all major conflicts including Italy, Malaysia, the Borneo confrontation with Indonesia, & more recently Afghanistan.

Royal Mail Pillar Box Pin Badge - GVIR Type C Double Aperture

Details: A beautifully detailed, long lasting, handmade pewter pin badge of the GVIR Type C Double Aperture pillar box, at a scale of 1:60. With a secure 'clutch and pin' fastening, this pin badge is perfect for attaching to your hat or lapels. History: This classic design, with its double aperture, oval shaped pillar was used primarily in large cities. The twin apertures proved useful when dealing with increasing quantities of mail, while also allowing letters to be pre-sorted according to region. Double aperture pillar boxes were first cast in 1899, and are still made in the present reign. Only three of the George VI boxes exist, all in the London EC District. Ideal for: A wonderful gift and collectable item, for those over the age of 14 years. Measures: 2.5cm
