This is my grandfather who served in the British Royal Marines 1885-1897, I would like to hear of any other descendant of other R.M's who served at the same era. He was in there for twelve years. I would like to know what rank he achieved and where he might have been posted to during that period. I believe there was a war in the Sudan that British troops were sent in 1885. My grandfather was only eighteen at that time but went on later to also serve in WW1 and survived.
