Images of Marines in Afghanistan win Royal Navy photography honour

Taken during 42 Commando's tour of duty in Afghanistan, they highlight the struggle facing Royal Navy troops as they battle to rebuild relations with local people while fighting the Taliban insurgency.

The moments were captured by Leading Airman (Photographer) Gaz Faulkner during his unit's operations in Kandahar and Helmand provinces this year.

You can see the rest of Faulkner's award winning portfolio here.
