Questions to find answers to

What does '3rd Class' mean when referring to Marines?

What exactly is a Supernumerary?

Was there some specific mark to distinguish Chatham Marines from those of other Divisions? (Black plume in the De Loutherbourg painting - Bristol Art Gallery)

What, exactly, did the OR's lace look like?

What were the verbal orders given to a sentry? I'd like to know the form the orders took for a sentry post aboard ship - what the Marine was supposed to do. "To guard my position..." etc.

The duties and role of a boy, RM - still training? Able to do certain sentry duties? Officer's steward?

Drafts between divisions - how, why, how many.

Duties of women in the barracks? Since it was mentioned in the Records of the Marines thing

What does 'DSQ' mean in a man's records?

(This list just keeps on growing!! :D)
