Commando Memorial, War memorial in Highland, Scotland
Three bronze commandos wearing World War Two uniforms and equipment stand on a granite base, facing south toward Ben Nevis mountain in Scotland.
The memorial honors 1700 officers and men of commando units who died during World War Two, following their training at nearby Achnacarry Castle.
The inscription United We Conquer reflects the determination and spirit of British special forces who trained in these Highland mountains.
The memorial includes a dedicated garden where families can place weather-resistant plaques measuring 6 inches by 4 inches to remember their relatives.
Many commandos who trained at this location completed a demanding seven-mile march from Spean Bridge station to Achnacarry Castle carrying full equipment.
