Bardia Mural, Military mural in Bardia, Libya
The Bardia Mural incorporates scenes of war with skulls, music sheets, a piano, and images of women painted on a clifftop building wall.
British soldier John Frederick Brill created this mural in April 1942, shortly before his death at age 22 in the First Battle of El Alamein.
The artwork combines depictions of battlefield experiences and memories of civilian life through a series of overlapping images and symbolic representations.
Italian restoration specialists have repaired cracks, replaced damaged plaster sections, and renewed the black paint elements of the mural in 2009.
The mural features an artist signature referencing R.A.S.C dated 21 4 42, alongside references to Charles Dickens works and domestic table settings.
