The Royal Australian Regiment Memorial
This memorial commemorates the foundation of Australia's first regular operational infantry regiment. In the past Australia has had permanent military units with special functions, such as coastal artillery batteries & earlier, other units seconded from the British Army.
The first three battalions of the Royal Australian Regiment were formed in 1945 from volunteers from the Second A.I.F. & served in Japan as part of the British Commonwealth Occupation Force.
Since that time, infantrymen of the Royal Australian Regiment have served in various theatres of war to safeguard our nation.
The Royal Australian Regiment Memorial honours all ranks who have served or who will serve in it and above all, those who have made the supreme sacrifice.
