Royal Marines History - January 2024

Good day,

Thank you for joining me in another New Year and your interest in the the Royal Marines, this monthly blog and the Royal Marines History Website.

Last year there were over 66,000 unique visitors, and well over 80,000 sessions which is unbelievable.

These figures continue to demonstrate the World wide interest in the Corps unique history.

I am still replacing all the lost media, and hope to have that completed this year!

Please do feel free to distribute this news letter or posts with your Oppo’s and friends, or on any social media network.

I hope you enjoy reading this months posts.

Yours aye

Si Biggs
