===Uniforms===
Modern Royal Marines uniforms are broadly similar to British Army uniforms but include a number of distinctive uniform items. These include the green "Lovat" shade of service dress uniform; the [[green beret]] (for those who have passed the commando course) or navy blue beret with a scarlet patch behind the badge (for those who have not); dark blue parade dress worn with either the white Wolseley Pattern Helmet (commonly referred to as "[[pith helmet]]") or white and red peaked cap; the scarlet and blue [[Mess dress uniform|mess dress]] for officers and senior non-commissioned officers; and the white hot-weather uniform of the Band Service.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/30091470|title=Helmet, Wolseley pattern (Tropical) S/P 1912 Royal Marines|publisher=Imperial War Museum|access-date=17 December 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222145034/http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/30091470|archive-date=22 December 2015|url-status=live}}</ref>
