Plaque unveiled in Northern Ireland to World War II evacuees from Gibraltar

The mayor of Gibraltar, John Gonçalves, travelled to Ballymena recently to unveil a memorial plaque for the 42 people from Gibraltar who died while evacuated there during the Second World War.

Altogether, three plaques were unveiled. The Gibraltar one is titled "In Memory, 1948", and shows the names of those who are buried in the local cemetery. It also refers to another 62 Gibraltarian evacuees who died in camps elsewhere in Northern Ireland.
