Title: Royal Marines WW1
Post by: ainslie on Saturday 23 June 18 09:43 BST (UK)

I have not had to search for Royal Marines information before but am looking for anything about George Harding of Liverpool, born 1893, believed to have been wounded at Gallipoli.  Probably a private in RMLI rather than RMA.
I am sure there must be a member here who can point me in the right direction.

Thanks very much.  My look in there earlier did not bring anything up but I'll try again.

Got it,but not via the opening search page.  Knowing there was a record I had to go in via a new route, for me, but all is well (even after discounting another RM of the same birth year).
Thanks again.
