His estate was valued at £768 and all left to his wife. His name is on the war monument in Chipping Camden as well as in St James' Church north aisle. In addition, there is a metal plate on the wall reading : "In humble submission to the will of God, this tablet is placed to the memory of Basil Hovenden Neve, R.N. youngest son of Julius R. and Isabelle E. Neve of this town who lost his life on HMS Pathfinder when that ship was torpedoed by a German submarine off St Abbs Head in the North Sea September 5th 1914 age 39."
