The War Memorial commemorates those who gave their lives in the service of Australia and those who gave their lives in the service of humanity, starting from Federation and following on in perpetuity. 

The Tea Gardens Hawks Nest War Memorial is comprised of three concrete rendered walls, which represent the three branches of service as identified by the emblems attached to the walls. The walls stand within a circle of pebblecrete paving, with the words 'Lest we forget' inlaid in brass. A flagpole is located in the centre of the circle.

Surrounding the memorial are multiple timber benches, which have numerous steel plaques attached. They are inscribed with the service details of individual veterans including name, service number, conflict, service unit, birth date and date of death. Each plaque has been donated in memory of a veteran who was also a member of the Tea Gardens RSL sub-Branch.

Ode to the Fallen...by O.L.Binyon
They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old, Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn, At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them

Lest We Forget
