- More information
The 2/3rd Field Regiment Association dedicated the Honour Plaque on 17 April 1966. The Association’s Honour Plaque is one of ten unit plaques placed in the Kings Park Honour Avenues on that date following invitations sent to a number of unit associations, some of whom declined the offer. Prior to this, the only unit plaque in the Avenues was the Returned Sailors’ and Soldiers’ Imperial League of Australian (now the Returned and Services League) Subiaco Sub-Branch plaque dedicated in 1920.
The Regiment was raised in 1939 and trained in England and in Queensland on the Atherton Tablelands, and served in Egypt, Africa, Greece, Crete and New Guinea. There is limited regimental history information available on the Australian War Memorial (AWM) Website. The AWM provides the Roll of Honour and the Recovered Prisoners of War Roll.
The soldiers from the 2/3rd Field Regiment are remembered with honour.
