Created in 1951 this memorial is for the British commando forces raised during World War 11. There is also a garden of remembrance where the ashes of commandos can be placed. It occupies a stunning position looking towards Ben Nevis .I found this challenge very difficult, still not sure that I got it right.
Day 5 - Commando Memorial at Spean Bridge. Have never actually stopped before but it is an impressive scultpture in a commanding position. Actually got quite a good view od Ben Nevis, it wasn't in the cloud for once and there was still snow on the tops.

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.
