Stories From the Collection Ep. 4 | The Royal Marines Family

Behind every Royal Marine is a family who serves in their own way. Stories From the Collection Ep. 4 | The Royal Marines Family In this episode of Stories From the Collection, Community Producer Jo Valentine is joined by Lily Shelley to explore the personal story of her father, Royal Marine Ryan Shelley. Through the everyday objects he carried and the keepsakes that kept him connected to home, they reveal the often unseen side of military service. A story not only of deployment, but of family, resilience and the bonds that endure across distance. These objects remind us that service is never experienced by one person alone. Every deployment is also lived by the loved ones waiting at home, whose strength and support are part of the Royal Marines story. This is one of the stories that will be explored in the new Royal Marines Experience at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, where the voices of serving personnel, veterans and their families help bring more than 360 years of Royal Marines history to life.
