===Legacy=== Munro has no known grave. He is commemorated on Pier and Face 8C 9A and 16A of the [[Thiepval Memorial]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/1546551/MUNRO,%20HECTOR%20HUGH |title=CWGC – Casualty Details |last=Reading Room Manchester |website=cwgc.org}}</ref> In 2003 [[English Heritage]] marked Munro's flat at 97 [[Mortimer Street]], in [[Fitzrovia]] with a [[blue plaque]].<ref name="EngHet">{{Cite web |url=http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/blue-plaques/munro-hector-hugh-1870-1916-a.k.a.-saki |title=MUNRO, HECTOR HUGH (1870–1916) a.k.a. Saki |publisher=English Heritage |access-date=29 April 2015}}</ref> After his death, his sister Ethel [[Book burning|destroyed]] most of his papers and wrote her own account of their childhood, which appeared at the beginning of ''The Square Egg and Other Sketches'' (1924). [[Rothay Reynolds]], a close friend, wrote a relatively lengthy memoir in ''The Toys of Peace'' (1919), but aside from this, the only other biographies of Munro are ''Saki: A Life of Hector Hugh Munro'' (1982) by [[A. J. Langguth]], and ''The Unbearable Saki'' (2007) by Sandie Byrne. All later biographies have had to draw heavily upon Ethel's account of her brother's life. In late 2020 two Saki stories, "The Optimist" (1912) and "Mrs. Pendercoet's Lost Identity" (1911), which had never been republished, collected, or noted in any academic publication on Saki, were rediscovered; they are now available online.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Gibson |first1=Brian |title=Rediscovered Saki |url=https://rediscoveredsaki.net |website=Rediscovered Saki |access-date=3 January 2021}}</ref> In 2021, Lora Sifurova, looking through the ''Morning Post'' and other London periodicals in Russian archives, rediscovered seven sketches and stories attributed to Munro or Saki.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Sifurova |first1=Lora |title=Lora A.
