The pavillion commemorates former students of King`s College (now called Pembroke School) who served in World War Two. The building was officially opened on the 20th November 1954. The pavilion was refurbished in 2003. 

The Governor (Sir Robert George) inspected a guard of honor of cadets before opening the new War Memorial building at King's College Oval on Saturday. The building will serve as a gymnasium, pavilion and changing room, and is dedicated to King's College old scholars who served in World War 11.
