Situated around a mile from Spean Bridge village, it overlooks the training areas of the Commando Training Depot established in 1942 at Achnacarry Castle. Unveiled in 1952 by the Queen Mother, it has become one of the United Kingdom's best-known monuments, both as a war memorial and as a tourist attraction offering views of Ben Nevis and Aonach Mòr

Memorials aren't just for Remembrance Day. They are a reminder 24/7, 365 days a year. And the Commando Memorial at Spean Bridge, Highlands is one of the most poignant, anywhere.

BA Commando Plate Carrier Vest (PCV)
The bars across the shoulders are stiffeners, to help keep the vest from collapsing when squeezed by eager fingers.
The back is smooth (except for the waffle-like pseudo-MOLLE depressions) to allow future backpacks to attach to the stud without collision.
Yes, the BA logo is found inside of the back stud. Of course.

HMS Bulwark (R08) a former fixed wing Light Fleet Carrier completed by Harland & Wolff Belfast in 1954, seen here after conversion to a Commando Carrier in 1960 (at Portsmouth), payed off in 1981 and towed to Cairnryan Scotland after a period moored in Portsmouth Harbour (Fareham Creek), her final voyage to the scrappers was in April 1984.
A very nice addition, the Lewis gun looks great in bronze. This was my first Lewis gun, and I must say that the amount of detail is amazing! A very nice gun which fits the theme perfectly. Now for the Bayonet. I like it, I don't love it. While this may be a welcome addition for pirate and military fans, I will have to work hard to find uses for it, as I am more of a sci-fi fan. I also think the bayonet would work better with the gun if it were a different color. The solid bronze doesn't make the gun feel as interesting and
unique as it could be.
This takes the cake as my favorite weapon included with the Rocket Commando. It also helps that this is my favorite gun in the Brickarms arsenal. I've managed
to get 3 of these beauties including this one. Enough gloating! The gun is a work
of art. Due to it being a blend of many rayguns from a variety of sources, this gun fits with many minifigs and scenes. The one detail that completes the utter
awesomeness that is this gun is the trigger in the trigger guard. This is, from
my knowledge, the first gun to have this, and I hope this isn't the last. It looks
amazing, and makes the raygun feel finalized.
The minifigure is top notch. The torso choice is excellent, and one of the reasons
I purchased him. The dial is a nice touch, adding to the steampunk feel. My only complaint is that the two neck pieces to hold the dial and jetpack make his head too tall to be proportionate, but this is too easily fixed for it to matter much. I'm glad the helmet is
reddish brown, as the old brown wouldn't fit the rest of the figure.
I wanted to take a shot at this because I saw Delta Squad with damaged armor so I wanted mine to look the same...
Thanks to JPO1997 for decals!
The Khalistan Commando Force was founded by Manbir Singh Chaheru in 1986.
On August 8, 1986, Punjab Police arrested Manbir Singh Chaheru("Hari Singh"), and he was eventually killed [dead link] or disappeared while in police custody. After Chaheru was arrested, former police officer Sukhdev Singh, also known as Sukha Sipahi, took command of the KCF.
Sukhdev Singh changed his name to Labh Singh and assumed the title of "General".
After his death the KCF was headed by Kanwarjit Singh Sultanwind On October 18, 1989, Kanwarjit Singh Sultanwind, and another KCF member were arrested by police near Jalandhar. Kanwarjit Singh Sultanwind, then 23 years old, killed himself with poison.
Harjinder Singh Jinda was a member of a Sikh organization Khalistan Commando Force and one of the two assassins of Arun Vaidya (the Chief of Indian army at the time of Operation Bluestar and architect of Operation Bluestar). He was responsible for three high-profile killings; Arjan Dass, Lalit Maken and Gen. Vaidya. He along with other members of Khalistan Commando Force participated in Indian history's biggest bank robbery of Rs. 5.70 crore ($4.5 million) from Punjab National Bank, Miller Gunj branch, Ludhiana to finance the campaign for a separate Sikh state of Khalistan.
Black Lodge Customs: Rocket Commando via BrickArms.
I made a slight modification to the Winged Rocket Pack to accommodate the BrickArms Lewis Gun with bayonet.
Not too sure if anyone else had done it, but I thought it was worth sharing.
This is one of my worst result. Because of using cambo 6x9 fujinon 150mm + overuse of tilt effect too much.
It means that I am still beginner, less experiences, and I should notice my bonehead.
The Commando Memorial stands some 17ft high, and comprises a group of three bronze Commandos dressed in typical World War Two uniforms and equipment including cap comforters, ammunition pouches and weapons. They are looking south towards Ben Nevis. A large inscription on the plinth just beneath their feet reads "United We Conquer", while the plaque on the front of the plinth reads: "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 1949 a competition was opened to Scottish sculptors to design a fitting memorial to the Commandos. The winner was Scott Sutherland, and the bronze was cast by H H Martyn Ltd, of Cheltenham. The Commando Memorial was unveiled by HM Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, on 12 September 1952. It has since become a stopping off point for many visiting the highlands: partly because of what the memorial represents; partly because it is simply such a fine monument; and partly because of its magnificent setting.

Sargent Snake is an expert in camouflage and commando infiltration and neutralization tactics. He teaches each of his men to blend into their environment. His training includes having each clone trooper paint their own armor to understand how each color allows them to further elude detection during missions.
