The monument commemorates those who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved.

Behind the obelisk is a semi-circular wall containing multiple marble plaques listing the names of those from the District who served in the South African (Boer) War, World War One and World War Two.  A nearby flagstaff and deck gun accompany the memorial.

Funds were received in 2013 to restore the names on the Boer War and World War One honour rolls. A further plaque was added to commemorate the ANZAC Centenary 2014 - 2018.
