The hall was erected by the returned soldiers to commemorate those who died in service or were killed in action in World War One. 

On Friday last (Armistice Day), Lieut.- Colonel C. F. Corser performed the opening ceremony of a memorial hall at Booyal, erected chiefly as a result of the efforts of returned soldiers. The function took place in the afternoon, when a short service was held by Rev. Atkins, of Childers, after which Lieut.-Colonel Corser opened the hall, and unveiled the honour boards,one bearing the names of the fallen and the other, those who had returned.  "The Last Post" was sounded, and one minutes silence observed.
