[3] Mount Clarence is bounded by Middleton Road to the north, Marine Drive to the east and south and the eastern boundary of Albany's town centre to the west.

A copy of the statue was made and put on the original monument base and then erected on Mount Clarence in 1964.

Albany is associated with the Desert Mounted Corps in that the mounted troops and the rest of the first detachment of the Australian Imperial Force and the New Zealand Expeditionary Force (later known collectively as ANZACs) left Albany in a convoy of ships in November 1914 to join World War I.

Mount Clarence is the location of the annual ANZAC dawn service, first held in 1931 by Padre Arthur Ernest White.

[7] The location of the Albany ANZAC Day dawn service is atop mount Clarence at Padre White Lookout.
