The monument commemorates those who undertook National Service in the Australian Defence Forces from 1951 to 1972.

The monument features a memorial wall containing the names of those from the Shoalhaven District who undertook National Service. Miltary equipment recognising the three services of the Defence Force surround the memorial. 

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.
