The Commando Memorial, Spean Bridge

Murray Brother's Garage

Thankfully England had Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and many others in their team in WW2. Unfortunately our men of today despite fame, fortune and WAGs still fall short of what their nation expects.Its always the same. Who can stand the interminable post match analyses?

I wanted a photo that showed the real metal of this great sculpture, gritty and tough: these men saved our country from defeat and ignominy when we needed them to.

The Commando Memorial is a Category A listed monument in Scotland, dedicated to the men of the original British Commando Forces raised during World War II. 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

Taking a page out of Winston Churchill's book:

“I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our Island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.

At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty’s Government-every man of them. That is the will of Parliament and the nation.

The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength.

Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail.

We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France,

we shall fight on the seas and oceans,

we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,

we shall fight on the beaches,

we shall fight on the landing grounds,

we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,

we shall fight in the hills;

we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.”

The picture id of the Commando Memorial, Spean Bridge, Highlands, Scotland. When Britain was at its lowest ebb in 1940, surrounded, alone, and in imminent threat of invasion, Winston Churchill ordered the creation of a new force, the Commandos, who could strike back and hurt the enemy.

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.

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.

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.

I wanted to take a shot at this because I saw Delta Squad with damaged armor so I wanted mine to look the same...

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.

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.

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.

Remembrance weekend here in the UK. As a sign of respect, I will leave this photo captured on a misty morning at the Commando memorial at Spean Bridge in the Highlands.

We will remember them.
