Can anyone tell me what years the RMLI were at 'The Depot Walmer' (which I believe is what we know as Deal in more modern times)

Thanks Dave
By the look of that it would be from 1861 until their amalgamation with the RMA into Royal Marines in '22.
Not clear whether RM continued after the hospital introduced in 1930 but it is suggested that was the case.
Certainly we were there in '73 when I started and we did our first/induction week there before moving to CTCRM
