This great photograph from my collection depicts Sergeant Wells, Sergeant Powell and Private Eburn all serving with the Royal Marine Light Infantry (RMLI). Private Eburn, a relation, was posted to H.M.S. Blonde from May 1912 to May 1913 when the Royal Navy scout cruiser was serving in the Mediterranean and where we think this photograph was taken. 

 

The two Sergeants wear the white RMLI Working Dress Frock. Eburn wears the navy 1902 Pattern Service Dress Tunic. All three are wearing Broderick caps. The photo, which was probably posed for, shows the three marines manning a Maxim Machine Gun in what appears to be an air defence role.
