The art piece commemorates those who served and fought in the Battle of Kokoda in 1942. Funding was received in November 2018 for the art work.
The Battle of Kokoda was a four-month struggle which began with the Japanese landing in Papua in July 1942. The Japanese strategy was to take Port Moresby via a track over the Owen Stanley Range. Along this track were fought engagements between the Japanese and the Australians at Kokoda, Deniki, Isurava, Eora, Efogi, Templeton`s Crossing, Ioribaiwa, and Oivi-Gorari.
