The monument commemorates those who died in service or were killed in action in World War One and World War Two.
A plaque was added at a later date to commemorate those who died in service or were killed in action in the Korean War, the Malayan and Borneo conflicts, and the Vietnam War.
Teams of volunteers added eight feet to the height of a soldiers memorial at Dutton Park in a race to complete it by Anzac Day. The memorial and a Garden of Remembrance are being built by the Dutton Park Returned Servicemen's League Sub-Branch to the memory of the dead of two World Wars. The sub-branch publicity officer, Mr W. A Peters said that he thought the column would be almost finished in time for the unveiling of the memorial by the Governor, Sir John Lavarack on Anzac Day.
