Royal Marine Bands are worth their weight in gold, both as ambassadors for the services and for moral boosters on ships. I remember them entertaining us during replenishments at sea and putting on band concerts in the upper hangar while serving on HMS Ark Royal back in the 1977's.They really did make life onboard so much better.

[@MajorRoadAhead]

Donsland I am a former Bootneck from way back in the 1960's. During my 10 years as a "Royal" I served two years on board a carrier- H.M.S. Centaur. As well as the Bootneck detachment we also had our own Bootneck band, permanently on board with us. They entertained the ships company in a similar way that you mentioned. My favourite part of the band is the Corps of Drums, they are excellent. I really enjoyed my service on the Centaur, plenty of great runs ashore in exotic places, and the daily issue of rum of course.

[@davesherry5384]

Let's not forget how many medals these lads are wearing either. These are Combat Bandsmen who earned those gongs. Were you on the series the did way back then on Ark Royal? I loved that series - got me hooked when the openin was "Wish you were here". I was NZ army back then.

[@MajorRoadAhead]

@@davesherry5384 Some of the medals that the R.M. Band wear may be former Queen's Jubilee medals, which are awarded to all serving U.K.military on the anniversary years of the Queen'Jubilee. 2022 is the Queen's platinum jubilee year so to mark this year in the Queen's life jubilee medals would have been issued to all serving U.K.military personnel. But they are not active service gongs.

Technically, they're actually Wolseley helmets, with a more pointed brim at the front. 'Pith helmet' is a more generic term because many similar hats were made of pith - the spongy parts of woody plants.
