content: I accidentally mistitled it and added the "Corps" out of habit but this is kind of interesting:  The New South Wales Marine Corps (1786–1791) was an ad hoc volunteer unit that the British Royal Navy created to guard the convicts aboard the First Fleet to Australia, and to preserve "subordination and regularity" in the penal colony in New South Wales.[2]  The guys pictured are the "New South Wales Marine Light Infantry" which is completely different and is kind of a meme.  The soldiers were keen to go to China but refused to be enlisted as sailors, while the New South Wales Naval Brigade objected to having soldiers in their ranks. The Army and Navy compromised and titled the contingent the NSW Marine Light Infantry.[55]   They were involved in a couple minor skirmishes during the Boxer Rebellion.   I just thought it was interesting how they got their name when I saved this a while back.  There's a little more about them here on these two sites: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_history_of_Australia#Boxer_Rebellion,_1900%E2%80%9301 http://homepage.powerup.com.au/~qdeck/boxers_war.htm
