Hi Listers, Can anybody help me find info on a Royal Marine Policeman killed 18 August 1940? Have his death cert already.Have tried to contact Royal Marines Museum At Southsea but no replies to my phone calls or emails. Am trying to find out what criteria there was to join Marines Police and what service he did in WW1. Hope you can help. Laura Lee

Laura; are you certain this man was a Royal Marine? I have been tempted into wondering whether you're extrapolating from "RMP", which itself would be more likely, first off, to indicate Royal Military Police. Martin Mitchell (10977)

Hi everyone Thanks for the replies. He was definately a Royal Marine Policeman (states this on his military death certificate).He was posted at HMS Peregrine (RNAS Ford) when he was killed. Have googled Royal Marine Police but only came up with Wickiepidia.Cannot narrow down his WW1 medal card as there is more than 1 A.J.Cunningham. Very frustrating Laura -----Original Message----- From: Martin Mitchell <us@magmart.fsnet.co.uk> To: SFHG@rootsweb.com; bobthebear@talktalk.net Sent: Tue, 15 Apr 2008 7:45 Subject: Re: [SFHG] Royal Marine Police Laura; are you certain this man was a Royal Marine?

Hi Laura I'm sorry the A J Cunningham I have traced was registered the third quarter 1940 aged 43 If this is him then why are we looking in WW1 medal records, surely he would only be aged 7 when world war one broke out, If by chance you are looking for is records world war two you have to write to minister of defence Where they will conduct search for you for a fee of £30.00 non returnable, unless you are next of kin the widow , then it would be issued free of charge, as HMS Peregrine was a royal navy airfield in Ford, It is more than likely that he was Royal Military Police, Please bear in mind that mistake's are made on certificates, the word misheard perhaps, marine mistaken for military, all quite simply a spelling mistake, Terry 8298 bobthebear@talktalk.net wrote: Hi everyone Thanks for the replies.
