So, you may all be wondering why these British Troops are all in blue instead of the usual khaki.
I've been trying to work this out for the last hour or so and I've come up with two possibilities:
1. This image has been mislabelled and actually took place in the Battle of Loos, where members of the New Army had to where blue uniforms due to a shortage of khaki dye.
2. They were a detachment of Royal Navy Marines which fought in the closing days of the battle.

![The [_Commodore Vanderbilt_] was a streamlined version of the venerable Class J1-E 4-6-4 Hudson locomotive that ran on the New York Central System.
The first of its kind to be modified for streamlining on the New York Central, it was christened in 1934 and pulled the [_Empire State Express_] for the duration of its career. Two more locomotives were streamlined in its pattern, designed by Karl F. Cantola. Later streamlined engines on the system would take after the pattern designed by Henry Dreyfuss.
Sadly, none of the Hudsons survive today. All were scrapped by 1954](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/002/092/100/d07.png "Commodore Vanderbilt under steam")
