Tony B Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Researching CWWG site came across a casualty with Banner surname marked as part of the RM Group M.N.B.D.O.V.Guessing RM is Royal Marine, anyone any idea what the rest is?

Johnny Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 http://www.royalmarinesmuseum.co.uk/item/researching-family-and-royal-marine-history/abbreviations-found-in-rm-service-records According to this site it stands for Mobile Naval Base Defence Organisation I guess the V at the end stands for Volunteer?

Richard Farrant Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Now to find out what they did. Defend mobile naval bases maybe ? The Coastal patrol boats used to move around ports in the UK, not just naval ports, so could be to do with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 Done a bit of searching, nothing so far. Might well send an email direct to the RM asking for info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just found this; http://www.royalmarinesmuseum.co.uk/item/researching-family-and-royal-marine-history/royal-marines-in-combined-operations-1939-45 scroll down to 11th Battalion RM and there is reference to their role there.
