Royal Marines Historical Society Award
The RM Historical Society Award was introduced in 2006 to recognise significant work by a non-member that promotes an interest in the history of the Royal Marines. It also seeks to recognise those who produce works in new media that aren’t necessarily covered by the Literary Award.
