The First Marines,

The marines were first established in
1864, when corps was formed to sup
ply trained sailors for the feet. The
merchant navy at that time was not
large enough to supply the kings
ships. and the impressed men were in
general unruly. A certain number of
marines were therefore placed in each
ship to keep the crew in order. Thus
at first marines were trained sailors,
and not soldiers. although at that time,
and both before and after. the fighting
in men-of-war was done by soldiers.
No special regiment was set apart for
this duty, but sometimes one and some
times another was employed. The duke
of York (afterward James IL. was in
command of regiment which was for
some time employed in this way
