Formally, Australia did not exist as a nation in 1900 but the person so ascribed in this photograph is likely from the colonial South Australian Navy. See https://www.navy.gov.au/sites/default/files/Image%20007%20Field%20gun%20crew%20HMCS%20Protector.jpg for similar uniforms (without the gun belts), referenced and captioned here: https://www.navy.gov.au/customs-and-traditions/brief-history-australian-naval-uniforms-0.

Yes there is a similarity in uniforms, but why would a colonial Australian be included, and not a Russian Marine, which seems more likely given the point and title of the picture. Wish the original source could be found more easily! Nickm57 (talk) 00:49, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
