This mix includes one matelot and some Yanks apparently relaxing!

I stand corrected, he was actually a Member of a Naval Police a Unit which had a Royal Marine included. The armband reads NP those letters being separated by a a Crown. He would have had limited powers to take action against a Service Personnel found mis-behaving or Off-Limits.

Judging by his uniform etc., he is a Member of Regimental Police Unit. He is wearing an arm band which would carry the letter RP as opposed to MP as the a Royal Marines did not have Military Police trained as such until the 1960s.
