I did 6 Winter deployments a Royal Marine, Marine LCpl and Cpl in a Rifle company. The real winters the real position of knowing winter as a solider in a tent sheet and all you carried was all you had in very extreme conditions..
We had a Dutch Coy cdr in 42 then went W Coy and eventually Commandant Dutch Marine Corps. Obviously selected as a potential prospect for this slot to have a view of both Corps. Guess they made the right choice. i think so he was a great bloke.

US Marine 1Star General Al Gray. Great to see him in the video. Former Commandant of the Corps. Meet him after retirement. What a great Marine!
