Imagine calling me an amateur & just a tv show fan. (People did/do) *Waves academic degrees in history around* & I worked hard to obtain them. My one & only motivation for my research is my passion for history. History is the gift that keeps on giving. I'm a history superfan!❤️

.@NatMuseumRN is launching a campaign to raise the final £2.5million needed to open the Royal Marines Experience in Portsmouth. Boathouse 6 in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard will be transformed into a national centre, celebrating the service and history of the Royal Marines. Bringing to life over 360 years of history, from the corps formation in 1664 to its vital modern-day role as the United Kingdom’s commando force. Designed as a place of inspiration, remembrance and education, it will ensure that the extraordinary stories of RMs are protected for future generations. You can donate here: donate.nmrn.org.uk
