M & Z Special Commando Units Memorial

Highlight • Monument

This monument honours the Z Special Unit, or Z Force, an Allied special operations group formed during World War II. It recognises the brave men who trained in Cairns and executed covert missions behind Japanese lines in Southeast Asia, including the famous raid on Singapore Harbour. This memorial pays tribute to a multinational force, mainly Australian, along with British, Dutch, New Zealand, Timorese, and Indonesian members, who risked their lives in these operations.
