Wandsworth Royal Marines Barracks has been transformed by Southfields arts students in celebration of the Marine's long history.
A mural produced by 14 A level students from Southfields Academy, which adorns the walls of the barracks, was unveiled on June 17.
The images depict moments from the Royal Marines 350 year history, including Waterloo, both World Wars, the Korean War, the Gulf War, Kosovo, and Afghanistan.
The artwork was commissioned by the Commanding Officer of Royal Marines Reserve London, Ed Moorhouse, who also studied art at A-level.
Lt. Col. Moorhouse said: "These students have really impressed us with the depth of their research and understanding of the Royal Marines history.
"Artistically they’ve really turned things upside down terms of military art, while each panel is one student’s concept they also complement each other perfectly.
"There is a long tradition of art reflecting military life and I am proud to have this latest addition hanging in the Royal Marines Reserve Wandsworth Barracks."
Each student researched a different historic event before producing a painting which comes together to form the history spanning mural.
Among the attendees of the unveiling was Putney, Roehampton and Southfields MP Justine Greening.
She said: "The paintings are so fantastic and so thoughtful I’ve been blown away.
"They show the Royal Marines’ history is not just about war and conflict but also about keeping the peace."
