AS COMMEMORATIONS for Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday took place over the weekend, Fort William played host to the first Cloutman dinner to take place outside their base in England. Members of 59 Commando Squadron Royal Engineers continued a tradition of recognising the anniversary of Major Brett Cloutman gaining a Victoria Cross with a dinner and awards ceremony. But this year, the squadron decided to hold it in Scotland, at the Ben Nevis Distillery in Fort William.
