2nd / 10th Australian Field AmbulancePrint Page 
The plaque commemorates the men of the 2nd / 10th Australian Field Ambulance and those of the 8th Division who died in service or were killed in action in South-East Asia in World War Two.
A few days before the fall of Singapore to the Japanese, on the 12th February 1942, St Andrew's Cathedral was cleared of its seats and taken over by 2/9th and 2/10th Field Ambulances. The Cathedral buildings and grounds were used as a hospital, accommodating a constant intake of sick and wounded, both troops and civilians.
