Centenary of 7th Brigade CentenaryPrint Page 
The memorial commemorates the centenary of the 7th Brigade which has served in the Australian Army from 1915 to 2015.
7th Brigade is a combined arms formation or brigade of the Australian Army. The brigade was first raised in 1912 as a Militia formation, although it was re-formed as part of the First Australian Imperial Force in early 1915 for service during World War One. It subsequently saw action at Gallipoli and on the Western Front during the war. Following the end of the war the brigade was disbanded in 1919 before being re-raised in 1921 as part of the Citizens Force (later known as the Militia).
During World War Two the brigade took part in the fighting against the Japanese in New Guinea and on Bougainville. Today, the 7th Brigade is part of Forces Command and is based in Brisbane, Queensland and is composed mainly of units of the Regular Army. While the brigade has not deployed as a whole unit since World War Two, component units have deployed on operations to East Timor, the Solomon Islands, Iraq and Afghanistan.
