Queensland Women's War Memorial is situated in Anzac Square, Ann Street, Brisbane, Queensland. The Brisbane Women's Club launched a campaign in 1929 to raise the funds to create a memorial as a tribute to those who fought in World War One. Due to the depression the campaign was unable to reach the goal of 1000 pounds. Mayo worked on the carved stone panel and drinking bubbler from 1929 to 1932. It was unveiled on 24 March 1932.
