| This first plaque
hangs in the St. Theresita Church in San Nicholas. The plaque
first hung in the Lago Marine Club. When the Marine Club closed
the plaque was transferred to the International Seaman's Club and when
the Seaman's Club closed it was transferred to the church next door.

The next monument is also in Curacao in
the Military Cemetery and is in memory of members of the Queen's Own
Cameron Highlanders. It is interesting to note that although the
monument is in Curacao the men seemed to be listed as being in Aruba.
