Engineer Lieutenant G. E. Harman and Lieutenant Commander G. E. Ridgeway standing by the starboard 4 inch shell rack on HMS 'Aurora' (1913).

Engineer Lieutenant George E. Harman (facing the camera) and Lieutenant Commander Geoffrey E. Ridgeway (looking at Harman) standing by the starboard aft 4 inch ready-use ammunition racks on board HMS 'Aurora' (1913). Behind them is the covered sounding machine. On the left of the image is a counterweight for the 4 inch Mark V anti-aircraft gun (on a modified high angle 60 degree Mark I mounting) - see also N22897.

The identity of Harman is not certain - see N22894 where the man is identified as a lieutenant in 1916, yet the single ring indicates a sub-lieutenant.
