Got some good friends ex RGJ myself due to my interest in the RB's, they always provide me with a good laugh with some of the stories they come out with.
Yes, ex Dagger man, 42 & 45 Commando, then 5 Assault Company for a little while, good days, bad days, but would not have missed them for the world.

The postcard of the hotel looks to be dated 1921. The NA only has papers for men discharged up to the end of 1920, so his papers will still be with the MOD and you will have to apply to them - http://www.veterans-uk.info/service_records/service_records.html

Thought so... ;) ;D
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.
