Malta Memorial, World War II memorial near Triton Fountain in Floriana, Malta
The Malta Memorial features a 15-meter Travertine marble column topped with a 2.4-meter gilded bronze eagle near the entrance to Valletta.
The monument commemorates 2,298 Commonwealth aircrew members who died during Mediterranean operations in World War II without receiving marked graves.
Bronze panels surrounding the circular base display the names of fallen aircrew members and bear the Royal Air Force motto Per Ardua Ad Astra.
The memorial stands on land provided by the Maltese government and received dedication from Queen Elizabeth II on May 3, 1954.
The monument includes the name of Lloyd Allan Trigg, who received a Victoria Cross posthumously based on enemy testimony about his final mission.
