ⓘWhat do the D1–D5 confidence tiers mean?›
- D1A single attributed public source (museum, council, Historic England, CWGC, mapping data).
- D2Two or more independent public sources corroborate the same facts.
- D3A named coordinator or local reviewer has confirmed the public-source account.
- D4A named observer has personally visited and documented the site — photographs, inscriptions, condition.
- D5An archive or institution has provided written documentation supporting the entry.
A higher tier means more corroborating evidence, not automatic historical certainty. The Discovery layer does not replace archival verification.
The Commando Memorial near Spean Bridge in the Highlands, dedicated in 1952, honours the men of the British Commandos who died in the Second World War — trained in this country of mountains and moorland. Three bronze Commando figures look out towards Ben Nevis. An adjoining Area of Remembrance holds later plaques and tributes.
