About the memorial: Celtic Cross. This memorial to the battleship HMS Malaya was made from granite by Mr W.A.Fraser, Monumental Mason of Inverness. The memorial, upon completion, was greatly admired by the citizens of Inverness when Fraser displayed it in his shop window in the Spring of 1917. Source - (Highland News of 7 April 1917) The memorial commemorates those lost from HMS Malaya in 1916, some of whom are buried in the cemetery. The memorial was erected by their shipmates and is seperate from the graves. If this marked the site of their burials then it would not be a war memorial but a gravestone but it is understood they are seperate so this is included. The cemetery also includes Commonwealth War Graves Commission graves, cemetary features such as a cross and other war memorials see WMO/202640, WMO/273081, WMO/273082, WMO/273084 and WMO/273086.
