The Sikorski Memorial in Gibraltar commemorates the 1943 Gibraltar B-24 crash of 4 July 1943 which caused the death of General Władysław Sikorski the commander-in-chief of the Polish Army and Prime Minister of the Polish government in exile. Fifteen other people also died in the crash with only the pilot Eduard Prchal surviving. The present version of the memorial unveiled on 4 July 2013 is the third replacing two earlier memorials erected in 1945 and 2003 near the scene of the crash.
