Royal marines red backing
Hello! I know that blue RM berets wear the red tombstone...I know (thanks to Irv who is the owner of the beautiful FS cap I show in this thread) that FS caps in kakhi (not blue) wore too...but I was wondering if the GS cap in Royal marines wore too the red backing (in case they used the Gs cap) Thank you!

As far as I know, the Royal Marines never wore the GS cap. They went straight to berets after the FS cap - green for Commandos and blue for all other marines.

So that is the reason of can't find any picture of a RM wearing It! I searched for days and nothing! Thanks for the info...now I can stop my mission impossible!

Here's an OR's example, note the half moon shaped cap stiffener only found on RM berets.

Thanks, I wondered what the design would be, if the buttons would be as per the forage cap.
