The monument commemorates those who have died in service or have been killed in action in conflicts in which Australia has been involved. It consists of three black granite arches on grey terrazzo plinth mounted on tiled concrete base. 

In 2015, the monument was relocated within the Memorial Park in Grant Street. Funding of $13367 was received in 2018 to install ten granite plinths.
