A plaque to commemorate Canonbury Hospital at Darling Point, Sydney, was unveiled by Sir Kempson Maddox, senior medical officer of the hospital in WWII. Canonbury was commissioned as a naval hospital in 1942, and paid off in 1946, during which period 4,050 Australian, British, United States, French, and Dutch naval patients were treated.
