They were and still remain an integral part of the Great Britain\u2019s Armed Forces. The badge is a commemoration of the history of the Corps. In the middle of the heraldic badge, there is the \u2018Great Globe\u2019 to symbolize the Corps.  The laurel leaves where chosen by King George IV himself to honour the Marines\u2019 successes and victories, especially during the capture of Belle Isle, off Lorient from April till June 1761 and all the honours they have received.\r\n\r\nThe word \u2018GIBRALTAR\u2019 refers to the 1704 Siege of Gibraltar. The badge for the Royal Marines bears the date 1930, below the banner which contains the Latin motto \u2018PER MARE PER TERRAM\u2019, which translates into \u2018by land by sea\u2019. This motto demonstrates the Marines\u2019 ability in fighting both on land and on-board ships. It is believed that it was first used in 1775. The motto is on a blue banner written in yellow.\r\n\r\nComparing this badge to others which belong to the Royal Marines, it normally contains a representation of a lion, however, in this case, it was either never part of the crest or was chipped off. Parts of the crown are chipped off. Both the lion and crown elements symbolize a Royal regiment."},"onview":{"label":"Public Access","value":"0"},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"The Royal Marines Gibraltar Badge"},"classifications":{"label":"Classification(s)","value":["Badges"]},"beginDate":{"label":"Begin Date","value":"0"},"node":{"label":"Node","value":"Heritage Malta"},"textEntriesObjecttype":{"label":"Object Type","value":["Crest Badge"]},"textEntriesMaterial":{"label":"Material","value":["Wood, paint"]},"primaryMedia":{"label":"PrimaryMedia","value":"/internal/media/dispatcher/412/full"},"depth":{"label":"Depth","value":["70.0000000000"]},"inscribed":{"label":"Inscriptions","value":"On recto \"The Royal Marines Gibraltar Per Mare Per Terram 1930\""},"textEntriesTechnique":{"label":"Technique","value":["Carved in wood, hand painted on a wooden plaque."]},"width":{"label":"Width","value":["51.5000000000"]},"altNums":{"label":"Alternate ID Numbers","value":["EEA.1392","41198-9","81790"]},"locations":{"label":"Location","value":["Malta Maritime Museum, Reserve Collection"]},"department":{"label":"Museum","value":"Malta Maritime Museum"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"Overall: 51.5 × 70 cm, 4.6 kg"}}]}
