Merit plastic toy Commando Knife, made in England by J&L Randall Ltd. of Potters Bar, catalogue no. 3703.
The monument stands as a memorial to the British Commandos who trained all around the Lochaber region.
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.
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 plinth. The soldier at the front is thought to depict Commando Frank Nicholls. One of the other two soldiers is Jack Lewington (rank unknown) who frequently attended Remembrance Services at the monument during his lifetime, the other remains unknown. The three Commandos are depicted looking south towards Ben Nevis.
