Default Early-1920s Marines

Some time ago I purchased a large quantity of photographic postcards of Marines (chiefly taken at Deal in the early-1920s) and I thought that they might be of interest to our RM collectors. I've meant to put some on the forum for some time but never got round to it! Sorry! The early-20s were a great period of change for the Royal Marines and this is reflected in the variety of insignia and uniform shown in some of these pictures. A lot of the pictures depict various squads at Deal and various individuals within the squads. Unfortunately, while many individuals are named on the back of the pictures, very few of them are dated. I have selected just a few of the pictures but these are just a handful of the pictures I bought.

Firstly, here are some pictures of different squads.
