Badger |

Crew of HMS Badger, at Malta.
This looks post world war one. HMS Badger was sold
in 1921, leaving just a few years in between, when this photo could have
been taken. The ship in the background looks like like an old
battleship from the 1890's, most of which were disposed of by around 1918
- 1921.
