At the monthly meeting of the Q.R.A. Council held on Monday 21st October 1918, Major Woods attended and handed over the shield and badges won by the late Arthur Halliday, at Bisley, in 1913 and 1914, these having been bequeathed to the association. All the members of the council present were personal friends of Mr. Halliday, and regretful mention was made of the loss sustained by his early death in France. The City of Brisbane Club stated that it was proposed to present to the Q.R.A. a shield to be known as the Halliday Memorial Shield, to be shot for in connection with a match to be known as the Halliday Memorial Match at the annual prize-meetings. It was decided to assure the club that every effort would be made to perpetuate the memory of the late rifleman.
