The following is an article from: Air Force News - Poles Commemorate Canadian Air Force Help - Nov. 8, 2007 - by Jenn Gearney.

The quaint chapel at the entrance of Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Uplands, South of Ottawa, was chock full of proud Canadian Air Force members and Polish diplomats last Sunday. The occasion was a ceremony initiated by the Polish Embassy to rededicate a plaque to Canada's Air Force for providing humanitarian aid to Poland at the end of World War II. At the end of the War, Poland was in economic ruins but it was not yet ruled by the Soviets, so Canada took the opportunity to deliver humanitarian help to the country in the form of penicillin-gretaly helping the thousands of sick Poles in the country.

In October and November of 1945, the Royal Canadian Air Force's (RCAF) No. 168 Heavy Transport Squadron at Rockcliff (sic) base in Ottawa, was given the task of delivering the medicine. On its first mission, the RCAF's Flying Fortress No. 9202 flew nearly 2,500 kgs (5,500 lbs) of penicillin provided by the Canadian Red Cross to Scotland, where it waited for the green light to fly into Poland. When permission was obtained the RCAF flew the medicine into Warsaw, Poland's capital.

Regrettably, the second time No. 9202 flew the Poland-bound penicillin, the aircraft struck trees near Halle, Germany, crashing and killing all five RCAF members on board. But that didn't stop the RCAF's humanitarian mission to Poland. Flying Fortress 9205 took over the task and delivered more of the much-needed medication. Ultimately, the RCAF managed to deliver five tons of penicillin to Poland, received by the Polish Red Cross and the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Organization. These were the only humanitarian flights the RCAF would be able to make into the Soviet Bloc until after the Cold War.

Fast-forwarding ahead to 2007, this year, Air Force Major-General Joseph Hincke, Polish Ambassador to Canada Piotr Ogrodziski, and Polish Navy Captain Kazimierz Starobrat, Defence Attaché, laid the wreath below a plaque at CFB Uplands, marking what the Canadian Air Force did for the Polish back in 1945 and remembering the Canadians that lost their lives doing it.

The plaque had originally been placed at CFB Rockcliffe in 1947 but became homeless in 1994 when the base was shut down. A similar plaque is placed at the military hospital in Warsaw. "Poland appealed for support from its allies but the allies were very hesitant because it was a very risky flight into a Soviet zone of occupation. But Canadians, only the Canadians, conducted three flights," said Rafal Domisiewicz, Seond Secretary of Culture at the Polish Embassy in Ottawa.

Ambassador Ogrodziski continued in heartfelt sentiment. "After the loss of six million citizens and a terrible destruction of infrastructure, the public was in very bad shape and we needed to help to take care of the sick people," said the Ambassador. "That help was answered by the Royal Canadian Air Force with a very important life saving drug. Unfortunately getting that drug to us ended in tragedy for a Canadian crew. We will remember those airmen today who sacrificed their life for Poles that needed help. We remember and we will never forget."

This memorial plaque is dedicated to the Battle of Arnhem and the RCAF squadrons who were awarded the Battle Honour “Arnhem”.

This plaque is one of 39 plaques unveiled in 2009 at Hylands Golf Club. The plaques commemorate former Ottawa-area military installations, a military patron saint, battle honours, ships, units, and squadrons.

In 1921, the Erskine Presbyterian Church erected a plaque in honour of the members of their congregation who died in the First World War. The church amalgamated with Westminster Presbyterian in 2007 and the Erskine's church building was sold. The plaque is currently in storage.

On September 21, 2023, a commemorative tree was planted and a plaque installed commemorating the 100^th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Naval Reserve and HMCS Carleton.

This plaque was dedicated by Ottawa employees of the Bell Telephone Company of Canada in honour of their comrades who gave their lives in the Second World War. The plaque is not available to the public.

This plaque is dedicated to the memory of Pilot Officer Lewis Johnstone Burpee Plaque and was written and designed in 2018 by David Hugh O'Malley of Ottawa.

Saint Patrick's College Second World War Honour Roll was located in the college lobby at the University of Ottawa and it is not known where the Honour Roll is located now.

Opened in September 1929, Saint Patrick's College was intended to meet the needs of secondary and post-secondary English speaking Catholics in the Ottawa area. On July 12, 1967, the college ceased to exist as a separate Catholic school, departed from the University of Ottawa and become a faculty at Carleton University. On January 31, 1979, the Board of Governors at Carleton announced that the college would cease to exist in the following academic year. For a time it was a campus of Algonquin College and presently houses Immaculata High School.

St John the Evangelist Anglican Church erected this Honour Roll listing parishioners who served in the Great War.

This Honour Roll was erected by the Col By Rover Crew in honour of the Boy Scouts who served in the Second World War.
