Traveling back in time, we witness British Royal Marines marching through Ostend, Belgium during World War I, showcasing their steadfast determination on foreign soil. The year is 1943, and two remarkable women, Corporal Essie Lucas and Jean Ayers of the US Marine Corps, break barriers and prove that strength knows no gender boundaries.

These images depict not only skill but also teamwork - qualities that define every member of the Marine Corps. As we conclude our journey through time with Alfred T Palmer's lens once more, we observe Marines diligently towing gliders from Page Field.
