The Menin Gate lists the names of more than 54,000 British and Commonwealth soldiers who perished in the war but have no known grave. As bodies are still uncovered in the surrounding countryside, they are buried in one of the WWI cemeteries. If the body can be identified, the name is removed from the Menin Gate.
The Menin Gate does not include the names of all those soldiers without a grave - it is not large enough to do so.

Recreation of Andersonville North Gate. This is a section of prison where a double wall was used to admit prisoners. It is an enclosure roughly ten yards square with heavvy gates on both the outside side and the prison side. Both gates were never open at the same time as shown in the photo.
