The mural depicting many theatres of war covers the back wall of the stage of the Memorial Hall in Yuleba and commemorates those who have served in conflicts in which Australia has been involved. 

The detailed mural was painted by a jackeroo, Robert Fred (known as Fred) Doyle in 1964, and is the backdrop to the stage of the Memorial Hall. It was unveiled by the Honourable F. G. R. (Frank) Nicklin, MM, LLD, MLA, Premier of Queensland, on 9 October 1964.

In 2020,  the Maranoa Regional Council realised Doyle's masterpiece was in danger of succumbing to the ravages of time. 

Maranoa Regional Council and South West Queensland Regional Arts received a grant to engage Brisbane art conservators Blair Paintings Conservation & Studio 204 to carry out restoration and preservation work on the mural.
