The granite obelisk with granite capping and bases commemorates those who served in World Wars One and Two.

The memorial was originally erected as a World War One memorial to the men who enlisted from the Thomsons Brook district and as a tribute to the men who did not return. The memorial contained the names of 33 men who had enlisted from the district and was unveiled in the grounds surrounding the Brookhampton Hall by Mr W.G.Pickering M.L.A. on the 17th December 1919.
