Royal Marines - John Reginald Skinner WW2

[AngieToton]

I'm trying to find out any information on my great Uncle: John Reginald Skinner (known as Jack).
He served in the Royal Marines in WW2, but that is all I know.
Can anybody help please ?

Hi Angie!

This site has links explaining how to obtain Service Records for Army, RAF, Royal Marine and Royal Navy personnel.

I think its the royal marines in Portsmouth. That's not much help really is it ? But that's the only info I have at the moment.

Hello Angie,
Go to this page which I think will help;
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/RdLeaflet.asp?sLeafletID=56
There is always a problem understanding whether they came within Army or Admiralty jurisdiction.
My own RM release is entitled;
"Order of Release from Naval Service"
