About
The Huskisson Wall of Remembrance 1943-1946 Honour Roll is a stainless steel plaque attached to the exterior of the Lady Denman Heritage Complex (LDHC). It was established in honour of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) services personnel who were killed during training in the Second World War. It was later agreed to be updated to honour RAAF, Royal Australian Navy, and Armed Services personnel members who were killed in training. The honour roll includes 50 names. According to notes from the RAAF Beaufort Squadrons Association, the LDHC were working on the memorial by March 1992 and were seeking donations to assist with costs. The memorial was dedicated on 23 April 1992 by Rear Admiral Neil Ralph AP DSC and Rev. Walter T. Wheeldon MBE. The setting of the memorial was upgraded in 2024, with new landscaping. Prior to 2020, a Beaufort Bomber propeller was located adjacent to the honour roll. The propeller was lost on a training sortie 35 Nautical miles ESE of Cape St George on 14 August, 1943. The aircraft made it back to Nowra on a single engine. The propeller was found 42 years later, when it was recovered from the ocean. In 2020, the museum made the difficult decision to relocate the propeller inside as it was suffering from corrosion.
