Torshaven Cemetery
Location Information
Torshavn is the capital of the Faroe Islands and lies in the centre of the
group near the southern end of the largest island, Stromo. The
Cemetery lies to the south-west of the town and the British graves are
in the north central part of the Cemetery.
Historical Information
A small force of Commonwealth troops was sent to the Faroes in April
1940 to guard against a possible German invasion following their
occupation of Denmark. Although no invasion was attempted, the
islands suffered a number of raids from the Luftwaffe in 1941 and
1942. The garrison, which at its peak numbered 6,000, was greatly
reduced in April 1944. Torshavn Cemetery contains 38 Commonwealth
burials, one of them unidentified.
