The Ottawa Memorial (Commonwealth Air Force Memorial) was unveiled by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on July 1, 1959. It commemorates by name almost 800 men and women of the Commonwealth Air Forces who sacrificed their lives during the Second World War while serving in units operating from bases in Canada, the Caribbean and the United States of America, or while training in Canada and the U.S.A.. Those named here have no known grave or were buried at remote crash sites which are deemed to be unmaintainable.
