Royal Marine Crest taken in 1946

Submitted by DeTigger on Sun, 2020-09-27 18:06

This photo was taken by my father in law after the war, when he was serving in Hong Kong with 45 RMC. According to the Royal Marine Museum the crest was cut in 1946 later refurbished by 42 RMC, then later built on. The museum states "hillside about Fualing" - but I guess it should read "Fanling"?

The Twelve Apostles and The Forty Thieves

Submitted by Christine Thomas on Mon, 2015-03-16 00:08

My current project is researching the lives of  “The Twelve Apostles” and “The Forty Thieves” – i.e. the two groups of Royal Marines recruited to the Hong Kong Police in 1899 and 1900 respectively.  Anyone interested in the stories will find them on my Hong Kong Police Ancestors Blog:  http://hongkongpoliceancestors.blogspot.co.uk/
