During World War I, in addition to their usual stations aboard ship, Royal Marines were part of the Royal Naval Division which landed in Belgium in 1914 to help defend Antwerp and later took part in the landing at Gallipoli in 1915. It also served on the Western Front in the trenches. Our picture shows a bugler with the division.
