American War Memorial, War memorial arch in Gibraltar, United Kingdom
The limestone monument features a grand arch with bronze medallions displaying the official seals of the United States and its Navy Department.
The memorial, constructed in 1933 and dedicated in 1937, commemorates the United States Navy operations near Gibraltar during World War I.
The monument serves as a physical representation of the military partnership between the United States and United Kingdom during two world wars.
The memorial includes a staircase connecting the upper town area to Royal Navy facilities, Fish Market Lane, and Queensway at the lower level.
In 1998, officials added a bronze plaque recognizing Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of North Africa that General Eisenhower directed from Gibraltar.
