Map of Statue of Colonel Sir Archibald David Stirling Stirling, Scotland. Colonel Sir Archibald David Stirling DSO OBE. (15 November, 1915 - 4 November, 1990) was a Scottish laird, mountaineer, World War II British Army officer, and the founder of the Special Air Service. In 2002 the SAS memorial, this statue of Stirling standing on a rock, was opened on the Hill of Row near his family's estate at Park of Keir. Stirling was commissioned into the Scots Guards from Ampleforth College Contingent Officer Training Corps on 24 July 1937. In June 1940 he volunteered for the new No. 8 Commando under Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Laycock which became part of Force Z (later named "Layforce"). After Layforce (and No.8 Commando) were disbanded on 1 August 1941, Stirling remained convinced that due to the mechanised nature of war a small team of highly trained soldiers with the advantage of surprise could exact greater damage to the enemy's ability to fight than an entire platoon.
