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.

El Commando Memorial és un monument de Categoria A d'Escòcia, dedicat als homes originals de les Forces Commando brità niques de la II Guerra Mundial. Situat a prop d'una millà enllà del poble de Spean Bridge, controla les à rees d'entrenament d'aquestes forces establertes en 1942 a l'Achnacarry Castle. Inaugurat en 1952 per la Reina Mare Elizabeth, és un dels monuments escocesos més populars, tant com a memorial de guerra com per les vistes que ofereix del Ben Nevis i d'Aonach Mòr.
Dissenyat en 1949 per l'escultor Scott Sutherland, que fou qui guanyà el concurs per a l'escultura d'aquest monument, que està datada en 1951. El monument consisteix en una escultura de bronze de 5'2 metres d'alçada on hi ha tres persones dretes amb la indumentà ria caracterÃstica dels comandaments: tapa d'edredó, corretges i rifle. Es creu que el soldat més avançat representa el Commando Frank Nicholls, mentre que els altres dos soldats segueixen sent desconeguts. Tots tres miren cap a Ben Nevis. A la base de pedra del monument hi ha la inscripció "United we conquer", mentre que a la placa en el sòcol de pedra es llegeix: "En memòria dels oficials i soldats dels comandaments que van morir en la Segona Guerra Mundial 1939-1945. Aquesta zona fou el seu camp d'entrenament."
El lloc va ser triat perquè està en la ruta des de l'estació de tren de Spean Bridge vers el centre de formació dels Commandos al castell d'Achnacarry. En arribar els Commandos potencials després d'un viatge ferroviari de 14 hores, havien de carregar els seus kits complets amb l'arma (un pes de 36 lliures, 16 quilos) en camions d'espera i després accelerar la marxa de 7 milles (11 quilòmetres) cap centre de formació. Qualsevol qui no completés aquest trajecte dins dels 60 minuts que es donaven de temps eren considerats no aptes.
