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 . It was designed and constructed by a Polish company , using sandstone from Poland brought across Europe to Gibraltar where it now comprises much of the wide memorial
