Re Deal. I know it continued as the RM School of Music until it closed but I think that all recruit training moved to Lympstone in the 1950s or the early-1960s at the very latest. I'll have to check the date.

Pete, certainly the first few months of RM Recruit training took place at Deal, square bashing etc. from sometime during the early part of the 20th century. When I joined ('63) having completed the initial training we then went to the then 'Infantry Training Centre Royal Marines' at Lympstone. Now known as 'Commando Training Centre Royal Marines' where all Recruit training takes place.
