The 8th Australian Field Artillery Battery Association dedicated the Honour Plaque on 17 April 1966. The Battery’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 and Services League Subiaco Sub-Branch plaque dedicated in 1920.
The Australian War Memorial provides historic information relating to the Battery including the Roll of Honour. A history of the Battery through the letters of Lieutenant Hector Roy McLarty MM (1887-1964) has been published in an e-book by the Families and Friends of the First AIF Inc titled “From the AMP to the AIF”.
The soldiers of the 8th Australian Field Artillery Battery are remembered with honour.
