ROYAL NAVY PERSONNEL GO GREEN ON DARTMOOR
ROYAL NAVY personnel of 42 Commando Royal Marines Logistics Company took to Dartmoor recently to learn what it means to be a Royal Marines Commando.
During a wet and windy three day exercise, Royal Marines taught their Royal Navy colleagues the basics of fieldcraft and tactical movement in order to strengthen their close working relationship.
Shelter construction, section-level tactics and camouflage were all introduced to the students to improve their knowledge of the Royal Marines they work beside and to give them the essential skills required to survive in an operational environment.
Leading Writer Fiona Easton, who works in the Unit finance office, said: “It will be much easier to work alongside the Royal Marines in the field now that I have a better understanding of what they do.”
She added: “We were shown how to move while carrying weapons and how to set trip wires. That was my favourite part.”
42 Commando Royal Marines are one of three elite battalion-sized units which make up the global punch of 3 Commando Brigade.
The highly trained unit is currently employed worldwide in a range of ship protection duties for the Royal Navy, delivering specialist training teams as required around the globe and standing by to support UK operations.

Finally got the mill installed, The head for the engine was deemed too expensive to repair. So I am searching for a used one that can be rebuilt.

The Commando Memorial stands some 17ft high, and comprises a group of three bronze Commandos dressed in typical World War Two uniforms and equipment including cap comforters, ammunition pouches and weapons. They are looking south towards Ben Nevis. A large inscription on the plinth just beneath their feet reads "United We Conquer", while the plaque on the front of the 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."
In 1949 a competition was opened to Scottish sculptors to design a fitting memorial to the Commandos. The winner was Scott Sutherland, and the bronze was cast by H H Martyn Ltd, of Cheltenham. The Commando Memorial was unveiled by HM Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, on 12 September 1952. It has since become a stopping off point for many visiting the highlands: partly because of what the memorial represents; partly because it is simply such a fine monument; and partly because of its magnificent setting.
