Reading Lady P's post regarding her late father's Arctic convoy duties she mentions she has her dad's Certificate of service in the Royal Navy, and it lists the establishments and ships he served on. This inspired me to dig out my own dad's Certificate of service in the Royal Marines to see where and when he served. I was disappointed to see that the only ones listed were his division and combined operations training camps in Scotland. Then from September 1943 to March 1946 it's listed as HMS Copra, which I know was an coverall posting for pay and administration purposes only. Now I know he served aboard a Landing Craft Gun and saw service in the mediterranen sea and later in Asia and have indeed posted photos on the forum to show this. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can find which Crafts he served on or would I have to apply for his service record from the Royal Marines.
