Almost 45,000 Royal Navy sailors lost their lives in the Great War and sadly, for most, the sea is their last resting place.
Those without graves are mostly commemorated on the huge naval memorials at Chatham, Portsmouth and Plymouth.
Despite the number remaining at sea, about 36 per cent are buried ashore, in mostly named graves,
and all over the world. Many sailors fought alongside their chums in the army on battlefields
as diverse
as Gallipoli, Russia and the Western Front. Many others died in the United Kingdom and that is where they were buried.
