Hi, need some parsing help, please?
38d Sailor with no friend embracing jolly group in unusual way (10)
-B-O-M-L-Y
Think it’s “Abnormally” but not sure why RM is a jolly group??
AB = sailor
No ally = no friend

Or am I barking up the wrong tree completely??

Royal Marines- sailors are jollies

Ah, thank you very much! Not familiar with “jollies” - one to remember!
