English: Three hundred Clyde-based Commandos were joined by family members and friends today to mark the official formation of a second Scottish-based Royal Marine Unit.

The new 43 Commando is one of only two Royal Marine Units in Scotland and the largest in the UK with 790 men.

The last Unit to hold the name was disbanded in the aftermath of World War Two after fighting with distinction in the Mediterranean, Italy and the Adriatic.

During a parade at the Royal Marines’ home-base of HM Naval Base Clyde, medals were also presented to 15 Commandos and sailors, some of whom had taken part in counter-piracy operations.

The day was made all the more poignant for the Marines as it also commemorated the 67th anniversary of the battle of Lake Comacchio, one the Second World War’s fiercest fought battles and an encounter which saw Thomas Hunter – a Royal Marine from Edinburgh – awarded a Victoria Cross.

There to witness the parade was Agnes Swinney (81) the sister of Corporal Thomas Hunter who had travelled from Edinburgh to attend the parade.

During the parade there was a short religious service followed by an address by the Royal Navy’s Commander Operations, Rear Admiral Ian Corder.

Afterwards the Royal Marines held a families’ day at HM Naval Base Clyde where visitors were given a chance to see some of the equipment which the Commandos have used in operations around the globe.
