The memorial was the inspiration of George Benyon and family, supported by the Albury branch of the RSL, and includes a wall which is inscribed with the names of all 100 Australian V.C. recipients.
In 1918 Albert Borella led a platoon in an attack to straighten the front line beyond Villers-Bretonneux (France), from which a major British offensive was to be launched a few weeks later.
While ahead of his troops, he single-handedly captured a machine-gun. Then, after clearing a trench and dug-outs, he inspired his men to hold out during heavy enemy counter-attacks.
