commandos
The commando monument at Spean Bridge with Ben Nevis in the background. We drive past this monument many times but rarely stop to visit as it can be very busy. On this occasion it was completely empty as it was so early. I hadn't realised that there is a little memorial garden just yards away from the statue and I must confess to being surprised and moved by the memorials placed there, especially for soldiers killed in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I couldn't help feel that politicians have a lot to answer for, in needlessly wasting such young lives for dubious reasons...
