This church symbolised the consolidation of a previously divided Baptist community in Adelaide under the leadership of the young and dynamic Reverend Silas Mead who was instrumental in the erection of the church between 1861 and 1863.
Brigadier General Leane led the unveiling and thousands of people were reported to have attended the ceremony.
The memorial was shifted to the East Parklands, on the corner of East Terrace and Botanic Road. It was installed by SD Tillet Ltd and reopened on 18 April 1967 in time for the Anzac Day commemoration.
