Royal Marine

Royal marine-Royal Marine side12″ Vinyl Royal Marine Commando from the D-Day Collection. The doll was issued to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the D-Day Invasion. The box came with the following information:” …The first Royal Marine Commando Unit was formed on Valentine’s Day in 1942 and was immediately regarded as one of Britain’s elite, assigned to carry out the most hazardous of tasks-taking out enemy strong points. Their mark of distinction was the green beret, indicating that those who wear it have attended and passed a grueling and physically demanding test of endurance…”

I purchased the set in 2004 at Toys R Us.
