I was working at Faslane last week and got the time to visit the local cemetery and take a few pics of the memorial to those lost on HMS K13 in 1917.

It's funny, I lived up near there for 18 years but never visited that cemetery. It's a lovely peaceful place, despite it's location between 2 busy roads, the oil tanks and the main Naval Base.
