 == Royal Marine category  == 

  Agree Baker needs at least one category to mark his military service. One overly fussy issue: the Royal Marines only received that designation in 1802. Baker was technically a British Marine, or most correctly a member of ""His Majesty's Marine Forces,"" but the name ""Royal Marine"" didn't exist while he was in the service. 

 Does this matter? i don't think we should call him a Roysl Marine in the article text as he plainly wasn't - I also raised this at MILHIST at some distant time ago, and got the same answer. But categories are just navigation aids, so there may be a lower standard of precision required in order to keep them useful to readers. Views welcome - I've been idly working on a few other NSW Marines articles so how we categorise one might reasonably be done for the others.    "
