A British Royal Marine in the 1755 uniform, as they served during the whole Seven Years War. Slightly before the war, British marines were still divided in different regiments, each having their own uniforms. In 1755, the Royal Marines were officially formed within the Naval Service and were given one new specific uniform, the one featured here. The main specificity is of course the emblems on the mitre cap, and the leather gear, that was tainted white instead of the natural buff of other British troops. 

The Royal Marines and the previous multiple marine regiments before, admitted musketeers (tricorn hat), fusiliers (shortened mitre cap) and grenadiers (tall mitre cap) as well, just like any other British infantry regiment of that time. Lately (after the SYW), the entire corps of the Royal Marines will be considered as grenadiers. The soldier represented here is a grenadier (wearing the distinctive mitre cap, a frontal box containing the fuses, and the pick upon the side belt, both designed to handle the grenades preparation). Grenades were still a big deal over naval warfare and remained so during the next century. Musket is of course the Brown Bess.
