The Coolup War Memorial is a simple Celtic cross on a square base, on which are inscribed the names of those who died in service or were killed in action in World Wars One and Two. It was originally unveiled in memory of those who lost their lives in World War One. An additional name was added after the end of World War Two.
The memorial was unveiled in 1924 by the Archbishop of Perth and Sir General Talbot Hobbs.
A Celtic cross memorial was considered to embody strength, simplicity and ruggedness, the same characteristics that were ascribed to Australian soldiers.
