Poignant Memorial
Sikorski Memorial的点评
点评：Gibraltar has many monuments scattered about its rather small area. One of the most poignant can be found at Europa Point at the south end of the territory, the General Sikorski Memorial. On the July 4, 1943 B-24 crashed off the coast near Gibraltar. Sixteen men were killed and only the pilot survived and was rescued. Among the dead was General Władysław Sikorski the Commander in Chief of the Polish Army and the Prime Minister of the Polish Government in Exile.
The present monument was constructed in 2013 replacing two earlier ones built in 1945 and 2003 respectively. These were located at the end of the runway on what was then the RAF airbase in Gibraltar and now its International Airport. That location was deemed unsuitable for allowing crowds to visit and a new location was found at Europa point.
The present memorial was constructed by a Polish firm and contains the propeller recovered from the B-24 that was used on the earlier memorials now places on a disk of sandstone imported from Poland.
Admission to the memorial is free and it is easily located. Most organised Gibraltar tours include a visit to Europa Point and the memorial battery is located between the Europa Point Lighthouse and Harding’s Battery a short walk from the car park. For those coming on their own the number two bus from the town stops nearby.

翻译：直布罗陀面积虽小，却遍布着众多纪念碑。其中最令人难忘的纪念碑位于其南端的欧罗巴角，即西科尔斯基将军纪念碑。1943年7月4日，一架B-24轰炸机在直布罗陀附近海域坠毁。机上16人遇难，只有一名飞行员幸存并获救。遇难者中包括波兰陆军总司令瓦迪斯瓦夫·西科尔斯基将军和波兰流亡政府总理。
目前的纪念碑建于2013年，取代了分别于1945年和2003年建造的两座早期纪念碑。这两座纪念碑位于当时直布罗陀皇家空军基地（现为国际机场）跑道尽头。由于该位置被认为不适合接待大量游客，因此在欧罗巴角另寻新址。
目前的纪念碑由一家波兰公司建造，内含从B-24轰炸机上回收的螺旋桨，该螺旋桨曾用于早期纪念碑，如今被安置在一块从波兰进口的砂岩盘上。
纪念碑免费入场，位置便利。大多数直布罗陀旅行团都包含参观欧罗巴角，纪念炮台位于欧罗巴角灯塔和哈丁炮台之间，距离停车场仅几步之遥。对于自行前往的游客，镇上的2路公交车就在附近停靠。
