The plaque commemorates the national servicemen who have died, been killed or wounded on active service in the various conflicts that Australia has been involved in since 1945.

Between 1951 and 1972, young Australian men were called up in two separate schemes for compulsory training in the Navy, Army and Air Force.  Of them, 212 died on active service in Borneo and Vietnam. National Service was part of Australia’s defence preparedness for three decades.
