You might be interested in the Royal Marines Band web site at http://www.royalmarinesbands.co.uk/pages/index1.htm

The information and reference section will give you plenty of background if you find your Dad was a member.

Best wishes

Pusser is Jackspeak/Navy slang for the Purser,the person who looks after the stores, etc on board. See also Pusser's Rum.
