King & Country - CE043 Royal Marine Bugler
Standing at attention and playing the bugle. During the first half of the Twentieth Century when the Royal Navy still ruled most of the waves most British capital ships. Battleships, Cruisers and Aircraft Carriers carried a full complement of Royal Marines. Buglers on these ships would make bugle calls for ‘change of watches’... ‘stand down’... ‘action stations’ and others throughout the day and sometimes into the night.
This particular bugler is in his dress blues and is more likely to be in harbor or on a ceremonial visit to a foreign port... or simply on parade.

The ROYAL MARINES are the UK’s Commando Force and the Royal Navy’s own amphibious troops. Founded in 1664 they are one of the world’s oldest and most elite fighting forces and optimise Britain’s global military rapid response with the unique ability to handle a wide spectrum of threats and security challenges.
Since their foundation the ‘Royals’ have seen action in every corner of the world throughout the centuries, from the ‘Seven Years War’ all the way up to the more recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Their distinctive dark blue ‘parade dress’, as shown on these figures, is usually worn with the ‘Wolseley’ pattern pith helmet.
All of these new K&C marines are carrying the older L1A1 Self Loading Rifles with fixed bayonets which remained in British military service from the late 1950’s up until the early 1980’s.
