The war memorial honours the contributions of Colo Vale locals to World War One, World War Two and the Vietnam War and sets down the names, units and theatres of service for 56 people who were either born in Colo Vale or hail from the small village. Rather than listing each person's name on a wall-mounted plaque, this memorial uses engraved pavers to commemorate those who served, by listing each person's name on an individual paver.
Funding of $4000 was received in 2014 through the Anzac Centenary Grants Program.Location
