This compelling military wall art photo print captures Royal Marine Commando SA80 rifles mounted on a wall above Medical Section equipment at Forward Operating Base Gibraltar in the Gereshk Valley, Afghanistan. Positioned for immediate access, the image reflects the constant state of readiness required in a deployed operational environment, where medical teams and frontline troops operate side by side under threat. The composition highlights the balance between combat capability and lifesaving support within a forward operating base.
Forward Operating Base Gibraltar was a key position during UK operations in Helmand Province, supporting counter-insurgency efforts in one of the most challenging regions of Afghanistan. Royal Marines deployed to the area demonstrated resilience, discipline, and adaptability, operating in high-risk conditions while maintaining essential medical and combat support capabilities.

Framing & Mounting
We provide a bright white mount as standard. If you prefer an alternative colour, please contact us. Depending on the print's size and orientation, we may occasionally need to adjust the mount's size or shape to ensure the best presentation.
Our frame selection is extensive, and due to website limitations not every style can be listed. If you have a particular colour or design in mind, please get in touch and we will be happy to discuss available options.
The final frame size and proportions may vary slightly based on the image ratio. Occasionally, frames may need to be a little taller or wider than the chosen size; however, they will never be smaller than the specified dimensions.
Your order will be crafted by award-winning framing technicians based in central England, with decades of combined experience. Using the finest FUJI professional photographic papers and premium materials, they ensure exceptional print and frame quality.
Our hand-picked craftsmen and women work with state-of-the-art printing and cutting equipment, yet every frame is still assembled by hand and subject to rigorous quality checks. Their dedication consistently results in outstanding work, appreciated by many returning customers.
- Made from sustainably sourced wood
- Securely packaged for safe delivery
Please note: once your order enters production, changes cannot be made.
The sizes shown denote the size of the print before framing.
- Are your images adjusted or cropped?
Depending on the image, we may need to crop or resize slightly to get the best result. Our framers use their experience to choose the most visually pleasing option, which can occasionally mean a slightly different frame shape to the preview shown. Either way, the finished product will always be the size you selected, or larger, never smaller. - Is the mount colour always the same?
We provide a bright white mount as standard. If you'd like a different colour, please contact us. - Do you offer other frame styles?
Yes, we have hundreds of frames available. Website limitations mean we can't list them all, so if you have a particular colour or style in mind, please get in touch and we'll talk you through the options. - Do you have images other than those shown on the website?
No, all of our available images are shown on the site, though we add new ones regularly. - Can I buy a digital file (JPG or PNG) to print at home?
No, sorry, we're unable to supply digital image files.
