I am sorry to hear of the loss of your Grandfather, Arthur. My thoughts are with you and all of his family and friends on this sad occasion. Your Grandfather, and all his fellow Commandos, will be remembered when Veterans, their relatives and friends, and so many others, visit the Commando Memorial at Spean Bridge in November this year.

Commandos never die, they go elsewhere and 're-group'! |
