Welcome to the CVA website!
Welcome to the site of the Commando Veterans Association which has been developed in order to appeal to all who visit. If you have earned the right to wear the coveted Green Beret and served with Commando Forces from their inception in 1940 through to the present day, or if you are family or a friend of the Commandos, you are equally welcome to enjoy and hopefully add to our site. Please feel free to pay tribute, research or simply satisfy the curiosity that you may have about the proud history of the Commandos.
Please feel free to join our association as either a Full Member (Commandos) or Associate Member. Simply download the relevant application form, complete it in full and pop it in the post as directed on the form. You will receive your membership pack (incl. membership card) and a copy of our most recent newsletter 'Dispatches' which includes information on the Association and planned events. If you do not wish to join then please enjoy the site and history of the Commandos and if possible pass on our details to any Commandos you may know.
This site is being slowly enhanced and we now have the facility of our newly enhanced forum and gallery where you can request or add information for the benefit of all of your Commando friends.
Commando Summer Service at Alrewas - 26-28 June 2009
This year's CVA Commando Summer Service at the National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas will take place over the weekend of 26th to 28th of June which coincides with Veterans day on the 27th. We have block booked rooms in the Ramada Hotel in Appleby Magna (Tamworth) who are offering a two night dinner, bed and breakfast for £90 per person for a double and £120 for a single. We will be RV'ing on the Friday afternoon/evening for a chilled gathering, with a day at the Arbortum on Saturday to enjoy the Veterans Day celebrations, with an evening of entertainment back at the Ramada Hotel. Our annual Summer Service will then take place on the Sunday morning by the CVA Commando Memorial. For those wishing to join us please contact Fred Davies on 01217 454494 or email:
