Description: "During the period of the German occupation of Jersey, from 1st July 1940 to 9th May 1945, many inhabitants were imprisoned for acts of protest and defiance against the Occupation Forces in H.M. Prison, Gloucester Street which stood on this site. Others were deported and held in camps in Germany and elsewhere from which some did not return. This Plaque is placed in their memory with grateful thanks from the people of Jersey on the 50th Anniversary of the Liberation of Jersey, 9th May 1995. This Plaque was unveiled by Mr. Philip Bailhache, Bailiff of Jersey on 27th April 1995."
