About the memorial: This memorial stands on the cliff above the old site of HMS Europa, the HQ of the Royal Naval Patrol Service. The memorial comprises a slender, circular column, surmounted by a gilded galleon. The broad circular base, facing out to sea, bears the commemoration to those members of the RNPS who died during WW2 and have no grave but the sea. Around the remaining circumference of the base, set into the plinth, are 17 bronze plaques, bearing the names of those who were thus lost. The names are arranged first by year, then by rank, and alphabetically by surname within ranks. Surname, followed by initials, followed by any decorations are listed. Finally, a further tablet is laid into the ground beneath the commemoration, listing 17 names who were buried on land, but who have no known grave.
