Dedication plaque

 

Inauguré le 10 mai 2015, le monument aux soldats disparus nous rappelle ces courageux jeunes hommes d’Amqui décédés à la guerre et du grand vide que leur perte a cause dans la communauté.

 

Mi-autel, mi-tombeau, son esthétique tend vers un idéal de paix; la colombe placée sur le casque militaire soulignant le temps révolu des combats.

 

Après tout, cette paix qui est le nôtre aujourd’hui nous a d’abord été léguée par tous ceux-là qui ont donné leur vie pour elle.

 

Monument au soldats disparus

[plaque/plaque] 9e ÉCOLE DE BOMBARDEMENT ET DE TIR
MONT-JOLI

9th BOMBING AND GUNNERY SCHOOL
1941-1945

[metal plaque/plaque de métal]
Pendant la seconde guerre mondiale, le Canada, avec l'aide
de pays du Commonwealth, mit sur pied un gigantesque
programme d'entraînement d'aviateurs qui transforma pro-
fondément le monde de l'aviation au pays.

Près d'une centaine d'écoles d'aviateurs furent construites
partout au Canada. La plus grande fut érigée à Mont-Joli.
Ouverte en décembre 1941, le 9e école de bombardement et
de tir de Mont-Joli forma plus de 6000 mitrailleurs aé-
riens. Comptant 74 bâtiments, 150 appareils et 3000 avia-
teurs, cette école du Programme d'Entraî-
nement Aérien du Commonwealth Britanni-
que marqua l'histoire de la région.

Au fil des ans, les installations militaires
ont fait place aux infrastructures d'un aéro-
port aux vocations multiples. Tour à tour
école de bombardement et de tir, base aé-
rienne lors de l'érection de la ligne "DEW"
puis aéroport à vocation régionale, l'aéroport
de Mont-Joli a toujours été au coeur du déve-
loppement économique et aéronautique de
l'est du Québec.

Ce monument est dédié à la mémoire de tous les officiers et
aviateurs qui ont séjourné à la 9e école de bombardement
et de tir, à l'origine de l'aéroport régional de Mont-Joli.

Dévoilé dans le cadre du 50e anniversaire de l'aéroport ré-
gional de Mont-Joli, le vendredi 23 août 1991.


Prior to the Second World War, Canada, with the help of
other Commonwealth countries, instituted a gigantic air
training program which profoundly transformed aviation
in this country.

Almost 100 schools for airmen were constructed through-
out Canada. The 9th Bombing and Gunnery School, opened
in Mont-Joli in December 1941, was the largest and trai-
ned more than 6000 airgunners in its time. Composed of
74 buildings, 150 planes and 3000 airmen, this school of
the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan
made a significant contribution to the histo-
ry of the region.

Over the years, the military installations
were gradually replaced by multifunctional
airport facilities: Mont-Joli airport was, in
turn a bombing and gunnery school, an air-
port for the Dew line and a regional airport.
The airport always been central to the eco-
nomical and aeronautical developments of
eastern Québec.

This monument is dedicated to the memory of all officers
and airmen who were stationed at the 9th Bombing and
Gunnery School, the origin of the Mont-Joli Regional Air-
port.

Presented on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the
Mont-Joli Regional Airport, Friday August 23rd, 1991.
