Across that angry or that glimmering sea...}}

The other main memorial is the SAS and Airborne Forces memorial in the cloisters at [[Westminster Abbey]]. The SAS Brigade Memorial at [[Sennecey-le-Grand]] in France commemorates the wartime dead of the Belgian, British and French SAS and recently a memorial plaque was added to the David Stirling Memorial in Scotland. There are other smaller memorials "scattered throughout Europe and in the Far East".<ref>{{cite web |last=Staff |url=http://www.marsandminerva.co.uk/memorials.htm |title=Memorials|publisher=Special Air Service Regimental Association|access-date=15 April 2010 |archive-date=15 April 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100415003831/http://www.marsandminerva.co.uk/memorials.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>
