EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a fascinating glimpse into the training practices of the Royal Marines Artillery circa 1910. The focus of the image is a Drill turret, used by the RMA for honing their skills in operating turrets on capital ships.
The intricate details of this training setup are truly remarkable - with every aspect meticulously practiced within its two levels. The lower level features a magazine, while gun operations take place on the upper level. It's clear that these marines were dedicated to mastering their craft and ensuring they were prepared for any situation that may arise at sea.
One intriguing element of this photo is the structures outside the turret, attached to the non-firing barrels. Their purpose remains shrouded in mystery, adding an air of intrigue to an already captivating scene.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we can't help but be impressed by the dedication and precision displayed by these British naval forces. This image serves as a reminder of the important role played by military personnel in safeguarding our seas and protecting our nation's interests.
The Peter Butt Aviation Collection has preserved this piece of history for us to admire and reflect upon, offering a window into a bygone era when discipline and skill were paramount in defending our shores.
