Eivind Müller

I trawled the New Cemetery at Sandwick this afternoon, and came across this lone Norwegian's wargrave, which I had not previously noted. Seaman Eivind Müller's grave was marked in January 2024 by the [Norwegian] War Graves Service in conjunction with its partners in the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. It was not previously marked.

Eivind Müller served on M/S Eli and died in hospital at Stornoway after being attacked by German aircraft near Skerryvore. The grave is marked with an official Norwegian war gravestone for the fallen of the Merchant Navy. The stone is made of Norwegian granite and has a bronze emblem.

Eivind was the son of Lars Engelstad Müller and Karoline Mathilde Danielsen. He came from Fjære, a small town some 40 miles south of Oslo (information courtesy Lokalhistoriewiki.no
May he rest in peace.
