The cannon has a long history and has been in several locations since arriving in 1858, it overlooked Cannon Lake in Albert Park until 1947 before being dumped in Stewarts Park, recovered after an Evening Gazette campaign in 1965, with the Territorial Army until 1978, then to the Dorman Museum for 23 years and finally over the road into the Albert Park Memorial Garden in 2001
The right inscription mentions 1824, which is the year the cannon would have been cast.
There are a number of other plaques to other conflicts and causes in the Memorial Garden
