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.

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.
