adam1981 Posted 14 March Share Posted 14 March Hello, I get the first one is 'Depot Deal' but I am stuck on the next two. What do these say please? (I have very limited knowledge of Royal Marines in WW2!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNCVR Posted 14 March Share Posted 14 March (edited) @adam1981 Second entry is Ports(mouth) Div'n (Division), the E I think signifies E Company. Cannot assist you on 1st entry. However this Marine is 2WW - out of the scope of this Forum. Edited 14 March by RNCVR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam1981 Posted 14 March Author Share Posted 14 March ah yes, good point, he does serve right through from WW1 though, but yes, posted on the wrong forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNCVR Posted 14 March Share Posted 14 March Since he had 1WW service its probably OK to post on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TullochArd Posted 15 March Share Posted 15 March (edited) 6 hours ago, RNCVR said: @adam1981 Cannot assist you on 1st entry. MNBDO ...... Marine Naval Base Defence Organisation. Adam1981 - was he RMLI or RMA in The Great War? Edited 15 March by TullochArd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horatio2 Posted 15 March Share Posted 15 March MNDBO = Mobile Naval Base Defence Organisation. Because they were mobile they could not be attached to a named ship, in the normal manner, so they were administered from the Home Base Ledger (HBL) for pay, mail, etc. See - https://www.rmindianoceanww2.co.uk/RMIO-MNBDO.htm HQ Portsmouth Division RM was at Eastney Barracks, Southsea, from 1923. I think we have now strayed too far from WW1 but your questions have been answered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
