The plaque commemorates the women who have served in the Women`s Royal Australian Army Corps (W.R.A.A.C.) from 1951 to 1984.
The Women's Royal Australian Army Corps was established in April 1951 to help overcome a manpower shortage. During the late 1970s female soldiers began to be integrated into the Army at large and in early 1985, the Women's Royal Australian Army Corps was disbanded.
