Description: | A full-length study of a man advancing left to right in full battle readiness, at the run, with gas-mask pouch, tin hat and bayonet fixed on his Lee-Enfield rifle. This is a study used for Wyllie's oil painting of 'The Storming of Zeebrugge Mole, St George's Day, 23 April 1918', now in possession of HMS 'Excellent', the naval gunnery school at Whale Island, Portsmouth, which shows HMS 'Vindictive' alongside the mole and marines moving forward, en masse, down it.
