The Royal Marines are a part of the Navy. They're the "go anywhere" amphibious infantry. They are also part of Britain's Rapid Reaction Force and considered by many to be among the top combat infantry soldiers in the world.
A total of 2,700 were in service under Nelson at Trafalgar.
A total of 16,000 were credited with service in Operation Overlord.
Royal Navy Lt Cmr's wear three rings (two full with a skinny one in the middle) Royal Marines dont use naval ranks but use army ranks, so a Lt Cmr would be a Major and carry a crown on his uniform :)
Not necessarily. It can be treated. In many cases though, the limb may have to be amputated. Each case is different.
If your referring to United States Marine Corps: 202,779 active (as of October 2010) 40,000 reserve (as of 2010) And Royal Marines: 7,420 active 970 reserve
A total of 80,000 men served during WW2.
The Royal Marines 3 Commando Brigade normally has about 7,000 men. Don't expect to ever see it all together employed at any time. It is routinely put together in much the same way that a Marine Expeditionary Unit is. That is as customized and mission specific unit based on a specific contingency or mission.
