Looking for some additional information concerning UK rank insignias of WWII, I've found that according to some sources Royal Marines had both ranks - Colonel and Brigadier.
But, according to the "Pay of the Royal Navy" document dated 1942, there were no any evidence of the R.M. Brigadier, but the Major was followed by Colonel 2nd Commandant, then Colonel Commandant, and then the Major-General etc. Therefore, the Colonel 2nd Commandant should be equal to the Army Colonel and wear same rank inisgnia, and the Colonel Comandant should be equal to the Army Brigadier with same rank insignia as well.
Is this correct? Because all other sources insist about the RM Brigadier existance.
Thanks in advance.
