The Commando Memorial in Lochaber

[Rob Crossing]

On a recent trip to Scotland, I was fortunate enough to visit Britain's Commando Memorial, near Fort William, in Lochaber. 

This inspirational monument looks towards Ben Nevis and over the training area for British commandos that was established in 1942.

I was delighted to see that the memorial is a real tourist attraction. When we were there, the car-park was pretty full and there were several busloads of tourists as well.

Lest we forget.

Hi Rob:

I visited there quite a few years ago now and thought the attached booklet about the establishment of the memorial would be be of interest.

Thanks, Ed. Very interesting.

At some point, I think it would be good for us to put together a brief history of our memorial, including photos and snippets from Courier.

Cheers

Rob
