michaeldr Posted 25 November , 2018 Share Posted 25 November , 2018 (edited) General Blumberg's 'Britain's Sea Soldiers' has a chapter on the 4th Battalion - see http://lib.militaryarchive.co.uk/library/Miscellaneous-Volumes/library/Britains-Sea-Soldiers-A-History-of-the-Royal-Marines-1914-1919/HTML/index.asp#/204/ Details of the strength of the battalion are given on p.176 and the "marching-out state of the Battalion" including the names of officers is given on pp. 181/2 Alas, there is no full nominal roll The battalion was dispersed on 27th April 1918 "after a brief but very glorious existance" Edited 25 November , 2018 by michaeldr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
