A few words from the Trustees of the West Highland Museum:

The West Highland Museum in Cameron Square Fort William will be hosting what we believe will be a memorable event during the Armistice weekend. A small exhibition has been arranged around the theme of ?Commando Training in Lochaber? which will feature aspects of training at Achnacarry, some Commando kit including Fairbairn Sykes daggers, and the lives of three named Commandos ? Raymond Hervo, Bill Harvey and we hope Johnny Ramensky.
This small display will be the embryo of a more comprehensive exhibition which will open next year ? subject to the success of our funding applications, and we have long term plans to feature Commando Training much more prominently in years to come when we are able to build our planned extension.
All are welcome at 10.30am at the Museum on Saturday 10th November, when the display will be formally opened by Stan Scott, Chairman of the CVA.
As the capacity of the room is limited our visitors may wish to visit the adjacent No. 4 Restaurant where tea/coffee and scones will be available to all our visitors from 10.15.am.
We anticipate, with your support, that the West Highland Museum will be responsible for keeping the story of Command Training alive for our many visitors and for generations to come.
