Q 111636 Undated,Unattributed IWM files photo.
http://media.iwm.org.uk/ciim5/416/774/large_000000.jpg I thought the Broderick had ceased to be worn a long time before WW1....unless this photo was taken post 1908 and pre 1914. Jo

Royal Marines with Broderick Caps aboard an HM Ship
The Broderick cap was originally worn by both the Army and the Royal Marines. The army ceased to wear it prior to the First World War but the Royal Marines continued to wear it until the early 1920s when they switched to a peaked cap (actually it was just a Broderick cap fitted with a peak!).
