2nd / 6th Australian Field RegimentPrint Page 
The plaque commemorates those who served with the 2nd / 6th Australian Field Regiment of the 7th Division during World War Two.
The plaque location is indicated by a red poppy in the second image.
The Regiment served in Egypt and Syria in 1941–1942 before returning to Australia after Japan's entry in the war. Throughout 1943 and 1944, the Regiment served against the Japanese in New Guinea. Its involvement in the fighting in New Guinea saw it committed to several campaigns, including those around Salamaua and on the Huon peninsula. Its final campaign of the war was fought on Borneo in mid-1945. Shortly after the conclusion of hostilities, the Regiment was disbanded in late 1945.
