The monument commemorates Australia's Peacekeeping Forces who have served since 1947.

Australia has had peacekeepers in the field with the United Nations continuously for over 50 years. In Indonesia in 1947, Australians were part of the very first group of UN military observers anywhere in the world, and were, in fact, the first into the field. Six multinational operations have been commanded by Australians.
