HMS Belfast to Victory the story of Ron Knight a Royal Marine on operations in Korea and Malaya

Ron Knight joined the Royal Marines in 1948 and served in North Korea manning a 4" gun on HMS Belfast and then swapped drafts to service in the jungles of Malaya with 45 Commando, he left the service after a period on HMS Nelson.

Not resting on his laurels he ran 38 Marathons, including the first London event and after retirement worked as a volunteer for the NHS supporting patients as they underwent major eye surgery, even now at 90 Ron is volunteering at a COVID vaccination center 3 days a week.  

I hope you will enjoy listenening and be inspired by Ron as he tells of his life of service and reminds me that 'Once a Royal Marine, Always a Royal Marine'
