The Ravensthorpe War Memorial was originally erected to commemorate those who served in World War One. A public meeting was held in Ravensthorpe in May 1919 to consider the erection of a permanent memorial for the 60 odd men who had fought in World War One. The memorial was to be built on a piece of ground applied for to be made a soldiers and sailors memorial park. A tree would be planted for each of the soldiers and sailors who fought and their names would be inscribed on a plaque to be affixed to the memorial.
