THE York branch of the Royal Naval Association would like to congratulate Royal Marine Daniel Thompson of Fulford on attaining the ultimate award of "The Green Beret" and becoming a member of one of the world's finest fighting forces.
We have, however, to make a slight correction to the written article.
Daniel never joined the army, he joined a very elite corps recruited and sustained by the Royal Navy. They do not come under Queen's Rules and Military Regulations, they answer only to Queen's Rules and Admiralty Instructions and as such they are an integral part of the Royal Navy. A connection of which we in the Royal Navy are justly proud.
