MÉMORIAL DE RUNNYMEDE Surrey, Royaume-Uni
Au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, plus de cent seize mille hommes et femmes des forces aériennes du Commonwealth britannique sont morts au champ d'honneur. Plus de dix-sept mille d'entre eux étaient membres de l'Aviation royale canadienne ou des Canadiens qui servaient dans la Royal Air Force. Presque un tiers des morts n'ont pas de sépulture connue. De ce total, vingt mille quatre cent cinquante sont commémorés par nom au Mémorial de Runnymede situé à Englefield Green, près d'Egham, à trente-deux kilomètres à l'ouest de Londres.
L'architecture du Mémorial de Runnymede est originale et impressionnante. La pierre du Souvenir repose au centre d'un cloître qui domine une tour carrée perchée sur le sommet de la colline de Cooper qui surplombe la Tamise. Les allées du cloître aboutissent à deux observatoires, l'un donnant sur Windsor, l'autre sur l'aéroport de Londres à Heathrow. Les trois mille cinquante aviateurs canadiens tués au combat sont parmi ceux dont les noms sont gravés sur les revers de pierre des fenêtres étroites des allées cloîtrées et des observatoires.
Au-dessus de l'entrée à trois arches qui conduit au cloître, trône un aigle de pierre surmonté de la devise de la Royal Air Force «Per Ardua ad Astra». De chaque côté, figure une inscription en anglais dont voici la traduction :
« CE CLOÎTRE HONORE LES NOMS DE 20 000 AVIATEURS SANS SÉPULTURE CONNUE QUI SONT MORTS POUR LA LIBERTÉ LORS DES OPÉRATIONS AÉRIENNES AU-DESSUS DES ÎLES BRITANNIQUES, ET DES TERRES ET MERS DU NORD ET DE L'OUEST DE L'EUROPE. »
Dans la tour se trouve un sanctuaire voûté, paisible et propice à la méditation. On peut y lire, orné d'enluminures, un extrait d'un poème anglais de Paul H. Scott.
Pour plus d’informations, visitez la Commission des sépultures de guerre du Commonwealth (site disponible en anglais seulement).
