The Tower Hill Memorial in London, England commemorates British Merchant Navy seamen lost in wartime with no known grave. The names of British sailors lost when Saganaga was sunk appear on this memorial. Names of several Merchant Navy sailors who died on P.L.M. 27 also appear on the Tower Hill Memorial, since Britain had seized that ship in 1940.
