Description |
The memorial is engraved with a large eagle and a detailed battle
scene. The inscription reads: "Bog, Honor I Ojczyzna - Poland's
contribution in the second World War, 1939-1945. This memorial is
dedicated to the members of the Polish Armed Forces who gallantly
participated in active combat on land, high seas and in the air. These
brave men and women fought for your freedom and ours alongside the
allies on the western front, as well as in Poland, as the underground
home army and intelligence gathering network. Passerby, tell the world
that we were faithful from the beginning to the very end in the
struggle for freedom, peace and justice for all mankind (followed by a
list of military campaigns)."
