The walls were painted by members of 9 Platoon, C Company, 1 RCR during our Cyprus tour of 83-84. The walls were in Maple House, the platoon house. There was lot of great artwork painted on those walls by all the platoons of C Company who stayed in the house. It is too bad they were painted over, our members put a lot of work into those painting.
Its funny seeing the pictures, I have all the same ones at home.
