Memorial Project

The vision is to create a national memorial that will appropriately honour the sacrifice of Australian Peacekeepers (which includes Gunners) in the service of international peace and security, and recognise the courage and professionalism of Australian Peacekeepers in the face of the particular challenges of their operations. The Memorial will be the focus for recognising the continuing significant contribution by Australians to international peacekeeping. Read more...

AUSTRALIA'S MEMORIAL WALK
A NATIONAL COMMEMORATIVE WALKWAY
NORTH HEAD SYDNEY, NSW

The paved pathway links five monuments erected to remember different conflict periods in Australia’s history. These are: Colonial, World War I, World War II, Post WWII and Peacekeeping. Funding for construction of the site commenced with a grant from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs with the majority of the funds being donated from the public and organisations whose contributions are recognized with an engraved paver containing words of their choosing. To date some 4000 individual pavers and 65 Centrepiece pavers have been laid and the available space for the Memorial Walk is filling fast. A dedication of the site is planned for December 2012 after which the site expansion will be limited. It is recommended that any of the Australian Artillery Association members seeking to have a memorial paver laid in the Walk before its dedication later this year should initiate their request now.

For further information on the Memorial Walk visit the RAAHC website.

View correspondence from the Chairman of the RAAHC Board, Major General Tim Ford, AO (Retired), dated 27 April 2012.
