The Lunna Kirk on the east side of Shetland north of Lerwick. The wooden crosses mark the graves of two Norwegian sailors killed during WW2 when their ship was torpedoed in 1940.
What a lovely image of this beautiful church and graveyard in the sunshine. My grandfather was killed offshore Shetland in 1942 when the Ff Sourabaya was torpedoed. His body was never found and seemingly my granny spent years hoping and believing that one day he'd walk back in through their Sullom croft door. He never did. He therefore has no grave, but his name is on the Lerwick War Memorial. War is a terrible thing.
@jamibann When you see the memorials for seamen around the Isles it makes you wonder what normal life was like all these years ago let alone adding the war factor into the equation.
