Historical Punishment (RN/RM)

Right, I have an answer for HB Ledger at Eastney.

Home Base Ledger; the list of men who are posted for UK deployment only. I will find out more about this in a week or so when I meet the archivist at Eastney.
 
My grandfather in the RMA in 1891 was guilty of 'laughing in the ranks whilst another man was being spoken to'; punishment 3 days confined to barracks.

A cousin of mine served in the RN in the 1950s. He tells me that discipline was stricter for the marines than for the sailors. Thus a minor offence might lead to just a telling off in the Navy but in the Marines there would be a formal charge and punishment that would be in the man's record for ever more.
Any opinions on that?
