"In Memory of the Officers and men of the Commandos who died in the Second World War 1939 - 1945. This Country was their Training Ground."
In 1940, Winston Churchill ordered the raising of an elite force (from not just the UK, but allies America, Belgium, France, Norway, Poland, Germany (Jews), and Holland) to be trained in tactics, unarmed combat, survival skills and war techniques using the latest weapons and equipment. Achnacarry in Lochaber, with Ben Nevis only 18 miles away, was chosen as the location of the Centre. The nearby lochs and rivers were used to teach boat handling skills and to practice assault landings, and there was a great emphasis on night training. Live ammunition was used in all training exercises resulting in many losing their life in training alone. Those who completed the training (my paternal Grandfather William Harvey included) were given the coveted Green Beret.
The Commandos were awarded 38 battle honours, 8 Victoria Crosses, 37 Distinguished Service Orders (9 with bars), 162 Military Crosses (13 with bars) and 218 Military Medals, some of the battles they fought were the bloodiest of the Second World War. My Grandpa lost his life in street fighting in Flushing, Holland, Nov 1944.
The Commando Memorial towers above Spean Bridge, three gigantic bronze figures standing proud in battledress, woollen caps and climbing boots looking across the Great Glen. Designed by Scott Sutherland from Dundee College of Art in 1949, it was unveiled by HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother in 1952. Hundreds of veteran Commandos and their families, and the families of those who gave their lives, make the annual pilgrimage to the Service of Remembrance and Wreath Laying held at the Memorial each November.
On the anniversary of D-Day, Marines from 40 Commando continue to carry out there duties just as their predecessors had 66 years ago. 40 Commando are currently serving in the Sangin area of operations in Helmand province Afghanistan.

I tried to pose the figure like DVD cover I have. However, the arms are fixed so I could not make the arms and hands grab the Grenade and the knife. Well, it is close enough

You know, one has to wonder how a commando droid really works. Commandos have to sneak around, infiltrate, and work behind enemy lines. I mean, do these change into toasters or something to hide?

I bought some Meindl Desert Fox Army boots today. Needed some for my trip to Portugal in a couple of weeks as I'll be working on a farm for the month. I thought I may as well get these as they're designed for hot weather, and they look pretty cool. Anyhow I somehow conjured up images of soldiers crawling through brush hence today's photo.
