The wall commemorates those who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved. 

It was erected by Mid-Western Regional Council in cooperation with the Kandos RSL Sub-Branch. A garden of roses and rosemary have been planted adjacent to the wall. The brick wall is topped with sloping sandstone tiles to which the RSL Sub-Branch affixed nine commemorative brass plaques.
