The Wingham District Memorial Services Club is a two storey building overlooking Central Park in Wingham. On the exterior of the top level are the emblems of the Royal Australian Air Force, Royal Australian Navy and Australian Army.

Maitland, President of the Wingham Services Club, on Friday 21 October 1949. The ceremony was described in detail by The Northern Champion on 2 November.

A metal plaque on site details a further unveiling by Major-General Ivan N. Dougherty on 29 October 1966.
