Casualties
General information about the casualties:

On the 27th of May 1941 sixty three members of the crew were killed or listed missing, presumed killed, and of these only eight of the bodies recovered were identified. The remaining fifty five consequently have no known grave and are commemorated by name on two of the Memorials to the Missing erected by The Commonwealth War Graves Commission to honour their memory.

Twenty eight of the crew are commemorated on the Chatham Naval Memorial and twenty seven on the Liverpool Memorial to merchant seamen who died while serving with the Royal Navy.

In addition to these memorials, there are five communal graves in Falmouth Cemetery, Cornwall (see photograph). In these graves are interred the unidentified remains of twenty six sailors who died as a result of the bombing of HMS Registan and whose bodies were later recovered from the sea.
