	I've been given a black and white photo of a family member and am struggling to identify him. Can anybody help to put a rough date to the uniform? He has a flat topped cap on, similar to a sailors one nowadays. The Royal Marine logo is on the front. The uniform itself looks like it's made of a thick woolen material, with a wide belt around his waist with a clasp to join it but no buckle. He has a collar with the Royal Marine emblems on either side. Thanks
