The ruins of the World War I Austrian-Hungarian Tactical Command Center for the fortifications in the Altipiani di Folgaria, Lavarone e Luserna lay near the road from Chiesa to Virti. The way down to the ruins begins some yards right of a wooden post "Magnifica Comunita 'di Folgaria" above the small village Vinti. The Command Station is well camouflaged in a natural chasm between rocks and wood. The Command had communication connections by telphone and optical telegraph system to the observation point Monte Rust (Monte Horst) southwest of Chiesa.

The Commando Memorial in Lochaber is a 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 Scotland's best-known monuments, both as a war memorial and as a tourist attraction offering views of Ben Nevis and Aonach Mòr.The monument consists of a cast bronze sculpture of three Commandos in characteristic dress complete with cap comforter, webbing and rifle, standing atop a stone plinthThe three Commandos are depicted looking south towards Ben Nevis."United we conquer" is inscribed around the top of the stone plinth, while the original plaque on the stone 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."
A Garden of Remembrance, which was subsequently added to the site, is used by many surviving World War II Commandos as the designated final resting place for their ashes.It has also been used as a place where many families have scattered ashes and erected tributes to loved ones who belonged to contemporary Commando units and who have died in more recent conflicts such as the Falklands War or in Afghanistan and Iraq.
