Default Hebridean U-Boot grave (WWI)

My apologies if this has been posted here before (I searched but could find no reference to it).

On the Monachs / Heisker (off of the Outer Hebrides in the West of Scotland) lies the grave of an a member of the crew of the WWI U-Boat 110. I first saw it in the late 1980's when fishing off the Monachs (the islands are now uninhabited except occasionally by fishermen in the summer months). The body was buried near to where it washed ashore (common in the Isles).

Picture of grave: text is:
Unterseeboot Maschinist
Schatt Otto W.
S.M.U. Boot U.110
15th March 1918

Other picture is grave location looking west to the lighthouse on Shillay. My thanks to my brother for the photographs.

It is a very beautiful, but very lonely grave-site.
