Updated re Sunday at the Commando Memorial.

What is the correct time of the service at Spean Bridge?? The RBL site says 15.00 and the Dispatches says 14.00.

Hi Bill

No information came to us from the Association, so the information I put on the website above is from the RBL and The Highland Council whom I phoned just before posting. The links are to the RBL website. I cannot respond on behald of the Association unfortunately. You will have to contact Fred.

Thanks Pete.
