Polish Air Force Memorial — Attraction in London

Polish War Memorial was erected by the London Borough of Hillingdon in 1948 to commemorate the contribution of airmen from Poland who aided the allies in the Second World War. It records the names of the 1,241 Polish people who died in operational sorties during the course of the war. The monument is made partly of Portland stone and polish granite comprising large stone obelisk with bronze eagle (symbol of the Polish Air Force) on top and bronze lettering text surrounded by low stone walls bearing names.

A Remembrance Garden was created in the field adjacent to the memorial in 2015 to mark the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain.
