Some years ago I came across what looked like a private memorial to a commando on a grassy bank in - I thought - Poolewe near Gairloch. I have always meant to return to say thank you to whoever he was, and did so last week. However much I searched and enquired (museum, locals, Facebook) nobody knew anything of this memorial and so I left very frustrated and determined to find him. There is in the town a memorial including R Urquhart (commando) and this may be him - but where has the private memorial gone?. Maybe he wasn't a WW1/2 casualty but another conflict? This is not a headstone nor is it in a graveyard - it's a memorial stone about 2 feet across -all on it's own, but I can't find it.
If anyone could help then I should be most grateful - I want to know why it has been removed (if it has). I may be totally wrong about the location as old age is winning - and it may be somewhere else, but at least I can try and I don't give up easily.
