The schoolies made a fantastic banner for the Everest West Ridge 2006 Expedition: 21 soldiers trying to put the first Briton on top of Everest via the notorious West Ridge.
The four soldiers in the summit party unfurled the banner as they headed for the top - the picture shows them at 18,500 feet!
After two months of hard work they had to turn back because of the danger of avalanches - but the schoolies got their banner back and it will soon have pride of place on the wall!
