The 2/7 Field Regiment Association dedicated the Honour Plaque on 17 April 1966. The Regiment’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 April 1940 and sent to the Middle East and saw action in Libya and Egypt. The Regiment returned to Australia in January 1943 and was sent into action late in the War at Morotai and Tarakan. A brief Regimental history is available on the Australian War Memorial (AWM) Website along with the Roll of Honour.
The soldiers from the 2/7th Field Regiment are remembered with honour.
