Those Army and RM Commandos with no known grave are remembered on Memorials. These can be researched on our Roll of Honour [View here] . Just click on any cemetery or memorial for all Commandos buried or remembered there. Here are a few Memorials that may cover the Walcheren action :

Pete Rogers, son of LSgt Joe Rogers MM & nephew of TSM Ken McAllister. Both No2 Commando.
God and the Soldier, all men adore, In time of danger and not before.
When the danger is passed and all things righted, God is forgotten, and the Soldier slighted.
