Description

English: The Royal Navy during the Second World War
On board HMS RODNEY the Master at Arms (left) reading out the names at the "Captain's Defaulters and Requestmen" parade. A Defaulters and Requestmen parade is a court (petty sessions rather than courts martial) for both trying minor offences by defaulters or hearing pleas and petitions whilst aboard ship. It takes place at the break of the quarterdeck on a ship at the same time each morning. As the sailor in this image is still wearing his cap in front of the Commander he is a 'Requestman'. Defaulters have to remove their caps.

Date

between 1939 and 1945

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
