Oberon senior was one of the first to go through Achnacarry, ended up as RSM No9 Commando, age 22. Towards the end of his life he opened up a bit about his experiences both when training and operational. I used to take him to The Commando Memorial at Spean Bridge every Remembrance Day. The Commando veterans would form up about a mile from the memorial and march up behind the local school pipe band even when the rain and snow was horizontal, different breed.
