The monument, unveiled on Sunday, November 27, 2011 by the North Bondi RSL Sub-Branch, features three black granite walls and a large S-shaped sculpture made of glass, stainless steel and stone.
Emblazoned on one of these walls are the words of Captain Saunders, MBE, the first aboriginal commissioned officer in the Australian Army, from when he fought at Kapyong in the Korean War on April 24, 1951.
The sculpture features 20 plaques describing incidents in each war Australia has participated in, and a plaque dedicated to peacekeeping. The two other black granite walls include the names, ranks, and images of Australia's Victoria Cross recipients.
It was unveiled on the 70th anniversary of the end of the Siege of Tobruk.
