A bronze plaque, about three feet square and one inch thick, was created by the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire shortly after the First World War. This plaque was displayed on the wall of the Markdale Public Library for many years, but when a new library was built there was no place for it and it is now stored in the basement. It is possible that a suitable location may be found and the plaque returned to public view at a later date.

This plaque is dedicated to the 1st Canadian Army Troops Workshop. It was erected by the town of Giberville, Normandy, France.

1st Canadian Army Troops Workshop landed in Normandy in early August 1944 and after a short stay in a town near the beaches it moved to Giberville, a small village 8 kilometres east of Caen. The workshop was the first Canadian unit in the town. The townspeople and their "liberators" soon became friends. When the workshop moved on at the end of August a grateful mayor presented Major T.G. Quance, the workshop's Commanding Officer, with a special plaque. It was placed at the main crossroads in the village and no longer exists. A duplicate is in the EME museum at Borden."
