Hi everyone,
Would anyone be able to help me read these service records?
My knowledge of the marines is practically none existent so all of the abbreviations mean nothing to me.
Thanks in advance

Welcome to the British-Genealogy forums
Well this is a list of abbreviations used by the Royal marines but it doesn't seem to help with what you have

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can help

Cdo Sch RM - Commando School Royal Marines - I think- see here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Marines

i think that it's 45 Commando, said as Four Five Commando, based at RM Condor, near Arbroath.

The last item implies it was National service, if you did not know that already.
