Royal Marine Number 1c Parade Uniform (Lovat Green) Colonel General Staff

Number 1c Lovat Dress – ‘Parade Lovats’
Introduced on the 300th anniversary of the corps in 1964, this is similar in cut to the “Number 2” service dress worn by the British Army (of which it is the equivalent). It is in a unique shade of green known as ‘lovat green’, and features brown buttons. It is worn with decorations and medals, and is worn with a beret, in commando green for those who have passed the commando course, and navy blue with a scarlet patch behind the badge for those who have not passed the commando course who include recruits in training, musicians, cadets and instructors of the affiliated cadet organisations.
Our example shows a Colonel who is serving on the General Staff and subsequently the Bronze RM title has been removed from the Epaulette.
