The plaque commemorates the women who served in the Voluntary Aid Detachments and Australian Army Medical Women`s Service during World War Two up until 1951.
The Australian Army Medical Women's Service (AAMWS) was an armed services organisation which existed from 1942 until 1951. Growing out of the St Johns Ambulance Voluntary Aid Detachments, it was formed in December 1942 and its members served as nurses in military hospitals in the Middle East, Australia and, with the British Commonwealth Occupation Force in Japan. In 1951, the AAMWS was merged into the Royal Australian Army Nursing Corps.
