Known as World War One Memorial Rabaul (Bita Paka): a sandstone memorial situated on the lawn inside the war cemetery entrance.

Between 1884 and 1914 New Britain was known as New Pomerania and part of German New Guinea. On the 11th September 1914, in one of Australia's first actions of the First World War, troops of the Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force seized the German wireless station at Bita Paka near Rabaul. Five naval personnel who died in the operation are buried in the war cemetery and the Memorial commemorates the soldiers who fought and died. After the war, the island became part of the Territory of New Guinea, which was an Australian mandated territory. The site of the wireless station became the War Cemetery.
