Hello to anyone reading this. Since the age of 10-12yrs I have been interested in the war years and the way soldiers and thier families coped during the struggle of the times.In later life I discovered my father 'Jack Bennett' was a commando. Sadley he passed away 25yrs ago. Talking of our interest within the family my brother,sister and myself decided to research our Dads' war history, finding out he was in No3 Army Commando. Our brother found out a little moreof Commandos for us. Then in November 1999 we travelled to Fort William in Scotland to join in the rememberance services and meet other Commandos.seeing their training ground at Achnacarry and the beautiful statue of three Commandos, high on the hill at Spean Bridge.We have met many men of the Commandos, they have been unbelievably helpful in our research, giving us a welcome wherever we are and taken us into thier hearts as we have taken so to these very brave men.
