Here is a mystery photo which has just come to light.
Anyone know 'who what where and when'?

Appear to be navy men or perhaps marines judging by the attire!  Also,  the photographer's stamp has 'Plymouth'.

I'm going to agree with atom12 - navy or marines, in Plymouth.

I also think its a sports team - medicine ball, boxing gloves, juggling things (sorry, dont know what they're called) & Rifles.

There are loads of places like the background in the Plymouth area, so cant help there.

Guesstimate of age - post ww1 & pre ww2, just a gut feeling!

I 'googled' Easden and sons Plymouth ... and it seems they were around in 1910.
