During the war the Divisional Bands had to provide musical support not only to their Division, but also other shore establishments due to the shortage of bands during the war. Captain F V Dunn, Director of Music of the Royal Marines, Portsmouth Divisional Band can be seen just in front of the Buglers on the right. A landing craft can be seen in the background.
