It seems to be a puzzlement for others as well!
Just adding another and even more puzzling photo, the 2nd Class PO at left seems to have a marskman badge in a photo with a given date of 1876. The chevrons on the right cuffs of the two POs and the badge above them (a star?) for the 1st Class PO are equally if not more puzzling. I had pondered if these men might be Royal Naval Artillery Volunteers, does anyone have any thoughts? I may start another thread covering this.
