This is the electroformed sterling silver sculpture of a 3 dimensional Royal Marines Globe and Laurel. It is mounted onto a solid mahogany base is designed to sit upon a desk, mantelpiece or shelf. To make the design we've used the best of modern 3D Sculpting and have then hand built and re-modelled the Globe and Laurel to create a stunning presentation piece. It stands 36cm tall and has a footprint of 22cm X 22cm. (this includes the base you can see in the pictures).

The Commando Memorial is located at Spean Bridge, the closest village to Achnacarry, the basic training centre for a great many wartime Commandos. The spectacular monument stands on an elevated site facing towards the Western end of Scotland’s Great Glen and overlooking the River Spean and Ben Nevis.

The design, submitted by Mr Scott Sutherland, an Art Teacher in the College of Art, Dundee, was selected in October 1949 by the Memorial Committee. From selection, it took a further two years to prepare the master sculpture in clay and plaster before the final casting in bronze. The Finished monument depicts three, 9ft. 4in. high, World War Two Commandos standing shoulder to shoulder. The Bronzes are mounted onto a granite base measuring an additional 8ft. giving an overall height of over 17ft.

The memorial is dedicated to the 1,700 Commandos who died in the 1939-45 war. It was formally unveiled on the 27th September 1952 by Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother to a large crowd of ex-Commandos, their families and onlookers. Following the unveiling Lord Lovat, the wartime Commando leader, made an emotional address remembering the dead, and paying tribute to the sacrifice they made for their Country. Following Lovat’s address, the ceremony concluded with the playing of the lament, ‘The Flowers o’ the Forest’ by a lone piper, standing at the base of the memorial.
