Sailors Marching, Esquimalt

Marching formed part of the training and routine for members of Canada's newly created navy.

Like recruiting posters and visits along the coasts by warships, marches also helped increase the visibility of the country's tiny naval establishment. The sailors wear summer uniforms and carry Lee-Enfield rifles.
