Default Royal Marines OCA
Does anyone know when the Royal Marines Old Comrades Association was formed and has anyone got any examples of their badges?

Thanks Paul, I find it interesting that the name used was Royal Marines, rather than Royal Marines LI or Artillery prior to 1923, but, that does go a long way to explain the existence of badges that clearly have some age to them and have the initials OCA upon them.
