The Portsea Memorial, commonly referred to as the ‘Portsea Wall’, was built to commemorate the Officer Cadet School Australian Army graduates who died on active service during the confrontation in Malaysia and Borneo (1963 - 1966) and the Vietnam War (1962 - 1973).
It also recognizes the overseas graduates from the New Zealand Army, the Royal Thai Army, the Malaysian Army, the Papua New Guinea Army and the Philippine Army, who also died on active service for their respective countries.
The memorial which was originally erected in 1966 and dedicated in 1967 was relocated and rededicated in 2001.
