A plaque at Bletchley Park commemorating Polish codebreakers. The left hand side reads:

This plaque commemorates the work of Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Rozycki and Henryk Zygalski, mathematicians of the Polish intelligence service, in first breaking the Enigma code. Their work greatly assisted the Bletchley Park code breakers and contributed to the Allied victory in World War II.

The right hand side reads:

Tablica ta upamiętnia pracę Mariana Rejewskiego, Jerzego Różyckiego i Henryka Zygalskiego - matematyków polskiego wywiadu, którzy pierwsi złamali kod Enigmy. Ich praca ogromnie pomogła kryptologom w Bletchley Park i przyczyniła się do zwycięstwa Aliantów w II wojnie światowej.

This plaque was unveiled on 11 July 2002. Two other identical plaques were unveiled the same year: one at the entrance hall of the Polish Embassy in London, in November 2002, and one on the wall of the building where the three Polish mathematicians had worked at Piłsudski Square, Warsaw, on 18 September 2002.
