Notice:

The National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials is a public, crowd-sourced registry that helps Canadians learn about memorials in their communities. Inclusion in the Inventory does not imply VAC ownership or authority. Responsibility for the care, management, and any changes to a memorial rests with its owning or governing organization.

The Luftwaffe Sword and hilt is contained in a glass case located in Observation Post de Hart (Op de Hart) on the 2nd floor of the Officers Mess in Ottawa. The sword and case were presented to the Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery at the Air O.P. Pilots Reunion Dinner in Ottawa on October 19, 1991.

Hagarty and Capt G.M. Henderson. It is dedicated to the honour of the Officers and Men of the Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery who served during the Second World War.
