Major Don Woodland of the Salvation Army dedicated a new M.S.B. war memorial at 207 Kent Street, Sydney. On 2 December 2013, the new owners of 207 Kent Street advised the M.S.B. RSL Sub-Branch the memorial must be removed by 10 December 2013. The glass memorial was removed and placed into storage in the Glebe Island/Rozelle area, Sydney. In November 2017 the memorial and honour boards were installed in the R.M.S. office foyer, 33 James Craig Road, Rozelle.
The memorial was rededicated on 24 April 2018 by Lieutenant Carolyn O’Brien, from the Salvation Army.
