It's thought to have been stolen on Anzac Day.
'I suppose it's just disappointing that somebody would go and do that, especially when we are supporting veterans and their welfare, and (creating) a place for veterans to come together,' the RSL's vice president Justin Hughes told 7NEWS.
The RSL has appealed for help tracking down the statue.
'It's very popular with the public to come here on Anzac Day and Remembrance Day,' Hughes said.
'We'd really appreciate it returned, if we can.' The statue is one of two that sits in the garden of an RSL in Bassendean, Perth. Credit: 7NEWS
The monument was donated to the RSL by one of its members a number of years ago.
Before it was taken, two statues hovered over garden beds which are used to grow poppies as a tribute to war veterans.
The RSL has a spare sitting in storage but members are now hesitant to put it on display.

Perth couple in heated custody battle over foster puppy
Police are being criticised over their response to a custody dispute, not over a child but over a puppy. The incident occurred when five officers arrived at a Yokine home of Friday morning to deal with an on-going dispute between a couple and a shelter. The custody battle is over Delta, an eight-month-old Kelpie who was put up for adoption by Swan Animal Haven. Pallas Retimana and her partner were fostering the young Kelpie on a trial basis, and had agreed to adopt her, but issues arose when they said they had plans to move inter-state. Swan Animal Haven allegedly said adoption was no longer an option. Jess Sackman from Swan Animal Haven told Seven News they contacted the couple, offering a proposal they found reasonable. 'We then contacted them on Thursday with a proposal to say, if you guys can meet these conditions, then we can consider going through with this adoption because it makes us feel more comfortable, they rejected that offer, which we felt left no alternative but to involve the police,' they said. In an online petition, Ms Retimana said they have offered 'every compromise imaginable' including delaying their move, but Swan Animal Haven refused. 'Swan Animal Haven has reported the dog stolen, which is not true. They handed the dog over to us willingly,' she told 7News.. The police made a surprise visit to the couples home on Friday morning to seize the puppy. Ms Retimana said the experience has been 'pretty emotional, pretty stressful, really distressing for the both of us'. 'I really just want Delta to stay with us and be apart of our family.' Premier Roger Cook has criticised the need for police involvement in the situation. 'Our police have got a lot of things to do. We don't want their resources being deployed to these sort of activities, which can be sorted out by the parties,' Mr Cook said.

City of Vincent suspends e-scooter trial just days after death of Perth father
A second council has pulled the handbrake on e-scooters following a spate of serious incidents. The City of Vincent, a local government in Perth, has suspended its e-scooter trial as of June 6 to allow time for a review. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: City of Vincent takes e-scooters off streets. Its rental scooters will be removed from the streets over the next 48 hours. Vincent's announcement comes a day after the City of Perth made the snap decision to suspend rental e-scooters indefinitely following the death of 51-year-old pedestrian Thanh Phan. 'We were very saddened to hear about the tragic accident in the City of Perth,' Vincent Mayor Alison Xamon said. 'Our condolences are with the family. 'Like our neighbours at Perth, we have decided to temporarily suspend our trial so we can review the safety of the hireable e-scooters and consider ways to improve this service or if it even needs to continue.' Phan, a Menora father of two, was allegedly struck by a drunk tourist while out for dinner in the CBD last Saturday night. 'A tragic event occurred at the weekend and our thoughts are with the deceased man's family at this very sad time,' City of Perth Deputy Lord Mayor Bruce Reynolds said on Thursday. 'In response to the fatality, the City of Perth has suspended the hiring of e-scooters.' Phan's death came just days after a 31-year-old man was killed in a late-night crash with a truck. An 11-year-old boy was fortunate not to have lost his right leg in a collision with a car in Lakelands, in Perth's south, on May 23.

Officers will be targeting speeding, mobile phones, riding under the influence of drugs and alcohol, helmet use and passenger limits. 'Police will be adopting an 'education through enforcement' approach to identified offences involving electric rideable devices,' WA Police said. St John Ambulance has responded to 328 serious e-scooter crashes this year. Doctors say devastating crashes involving e-scooters are on the rise, with one seriously injured rider presenting every day at RPH. 'We saw an exponential increase in these injuries over the last five or so years,' RPH trauma surgeon Dieter Weber told 7NEWS last week. 'This has been a new injury pattern that we simply did not have previously.' 'Traumatic injuries' Public health and safety experts have called for improved safety regulations across Australia after a new report identified that 176 injured children aged between five years and 15 years had been taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in 2023 and 2024. Researchers found one in 10 e-scooter injuries were life threatening or potentially life threatening, and almost four in 10 cases involved a broken bone. 'The types of injuries ranged from minor fractures and injuries through to traumatic brain injuries requiring a craniotomy,' lead author Matthew Clanfield said. 'A lot of the parents attending were extremely upset to see their child hospitalised and weren't aware how risky e-scooters can be or the legal requirement for supervision under 16.' Public Health Association of Australia chief executive Terry Slevin said e-scooters were 'proving (to be) a genuine public health risk and injury prevention issue'. 'This study provides data in one region and in one hospital, but this is an issue in every town and city where they have landed across Australia,' he said. The Queensland Government is preparing to hold a public inquiry into e-scooters and other mobility devices.

Aussie tourist tells of terrifying moment she abandoned capsized boat in Bali
An Australian has described the terrifying moments fearing for her life when a tourist boat capsized in Bali. Megan Hughes, from Perth, said she smashed a window and squeezed her way to safety while also helping others flee the ill-fated vessel. She was one of 89 passengers on the boat just offshore fromLembongan Village, on the island of Nusa Lembongan, when it sunk about 4.30pm, local time., on Wednesday The vessel, known as The Tanis, was newly loaded with passengers and had been backing out on its way to Sanur when it was hit by a wave from behind and began taking on water. All passengers were evacuated to safety by 6.30pm local time. There were no deaths or serious injuries reported. Aussie Megan Hughes speaking on Sunrise on Friday about the terrifying moment a boat capsized in Bali. Credit: Seven 'Originally, I had the earbuds in and I didn't quite realise what was going on,' Hughes told Sunrise on Friday. 'I could hear the screams. I looked out and there was water up to the seats and I looked at the girl next to me and I said 'we need to get out'. The boat is tilting and it's on an angle. 'The water was nearly up to the windows and everyone was just scrambling, like climbing over the chairs to try to get out. We were trying to smash the windows to get out. 'Glass was going everywhere. Kids were screaming. People who couldn't swim as well were screaming and grabbing any life jacket they could find. We were scrambling over each other to get out the window.' Hughes said the deceptive angle of footage of the incident made the boat look close to the beach. However, she described it as being a lot further from the shore than it appeared. Hughes said she feared she might not escape until a window finally gave way and she was able to squeeze through it. 'I did (fear for my life),' she said. 'When I tried to smash the window and I couldn't get out, I was thinking I'm going to get trapped on this boat with only a few ways to get out. The windows are so small. 'To get through the window, I struggled ... to see the boat fill up with water so quickly, that was really scary.' Hughes said when the wave first hit the boat, the doors were open. 'Everyone was like 'oh my gosh, we are getting wet' (but still) recording and not realising the severity of it,' she said. 'All of a sudden there was loads and loads of water in the boat and it started to go down.'
