The National Memorial Walk (NMW) is the spiritual home of Royal Australian Regiment.
It is a ‘living” memorial by association to a dedicated tree that commemorates each person who has died while serving overseas with the Regiment.
The Walk is divided into the RAR’s operational theatre areas (Japan, Korea, Malaya, Malaysia – Sarawak, Vietnam, Somalia, The Solomons, East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan) in which the memorial plaques/trees are placed.
At the base of selected trees is an individual plaque bearing the name and details of each of the 706 members of the Regiment who have died on overseas service.
