Hello everyone

Is there anyone out there who could try and identify the uniform or regiment of this soldier. He has lyre collar badges and a single chevron on his lower left arm. I have always thought the chap is my great grandfather Robert Henry Parry who was in the KORLR number 8244 but I don't think this is their uniform.

Any thoughts

I think the picture shows a bandsman. Royal Marines.

Wow now thats thrown a spanner in the works because I know of no family members being in the Royal Marines. What does the cheveron mean on his arm, do you know?

It's a Long Service Good Conduct stripe, for "undetected crime" ;)
