Thanks Oscar, My father did have passing familarity with the SMLE prior to being sent to what I guess we would call OCS in 1915. He finished up as Leftenant in a motor transport unit in 1919. I would admire your courage and pride, not necessarily your judgement, in accosting a Royal Marine, let alone a Scots one. He had already put up with quite a lot just to get into the Marines.
