Commando

This is just to good to miss out on, the Commando memorial deserves our respect for the troops who served.

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 Nicholas. The one of the other two soldiers is Jack Lewington (rank unknown) who frequently attended Remembrance Service at the moniment during his lifetime, the other remains unknown. The three Commandos are depicted looking south towards Ben Nevis. The entire monument is 17 feet (5.2 m) tall. The monument has been variously described as a huge, striking and iconic statue.

"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.
