This collage of images represents the history of Canada's Armed Forces. The Artist's use of colour dramatizes conflict and peace. The left side of the mural is in remembrance of the First and Second World Wars. The sky is painted red behind them to symbolize this era of conflict. The text lists areas of conflict. In the centre: Navy, Air Force and Army representatives of today stand beneath the United Nations Logo. The right side of the mural recognizes the peace keeping missions that Canada has been involved in: blue symbolizes peace.   

Military personnel from CFB Petawawa worked with the Mural Committee to ensure that uniforms and insignia were accurate. Artist: Robin Burgesse, 1992.
