In many cases is was impossible to identify the bodies of soldiers, or they had simply gone missing, so there is no marked grave for many of the soldiers.  There are many headstones in the cemeteries with the simple inscription “A soldier of the Great War, known unto God.”

The Thiepval Memorial in the Somme commemorates over 72000 missing British and South African soldiers who died on the Somme and have no known grave.  Designed by Edward Lutyens, it was built between 1928 and 1932 and inaugurated on 1^st August 1932.  It is 43 meters tall above the main plinth.

There are 8 Hasketon men inscribed on the Memorial:

• Charles Edward Groves
• Archibald Wright
• Charles Blake
• David Denny
• Stanley Morris Thompson
• Walter Thompson
• William Adams
• Frank Denny.

The inscription on the memorial reads:

Here are recorded the names of officers and men of the British Armies who fell on the Somme battlefields July 1915 to November 1918, but to whom fortunes of war denied the known and honoured burial given to their Comrades in death.
