The monument was erected in 1920 for Fleurine Elsie Andrews in memory of her three sons who were killed in World War One. The front plaque bears a leaded ivy leaf motif, inscriptions and the names and details of the three Andrews brothers who lost their lives.

The memorial is situated in the St Stephens cemetery, directly behind the Andrews family plot. Although privately owned, it is the focus of public ANZAC Day memorial services.
