I know this is not a memorial but it seems to me unusual enough to be of interest. It is in the naval CWGC cemetery at Lyness, Hoy.

There are 16 graves to Norwegian sailors in the St Olaf's cemetery outside Kirkwall. This graveyard also has a grave for a Danish and a Greek sailor. The Naval Cemetery at Lyness (Hoy) houses a gravestone for a Parsee and Muselman sailors, as well as Norse and German graves. |
