The honour roll commemorates those from the district who have served in World War Two and later conflicts.  It consists of two brick walls set at 45° angles on which are sloping stone slabs carrying plaques with names. 

Queanbeyan resident Mr Laurie Davis, who served with the AIF during World War Two, noted during a tour of western New South Wales that many of the towns he visited had their own honour rolls. This led to the formation in 1998 of a committee of Queanbeyan ex-servicemen to establish a Queanbeyan and District Honour Roll. They were assisted by a grant of $3,000 from the Commonwealth Government under the "Their Service Our Heritage" program. 

Note: A separate plinth containing plaques commemorating World War Two is situated in front of the Honour Roll. This is listed by Monument Australia as a separate entry.
