The monument was originally erected to commemorate those who died in service or were killed in action in World War One.
Small marble plaques were added at a later date commemorate involvement in World War Two (1939 - 1945); the Korean War (1950 - 1953); the Malayan Emergency (1950 - 1960); Borneo; and the Vietnam War (1962 - 1972).
It is a marble statue of a slouch-hatted World War One soldier with arms reversed standing on a stone column. The original statue ("Digger") from this monument is now on display in the Sherwood Services Club in Corinda, Queensland.
The memorial was unveiled in the church grounds at Oxley by Mrs Elphinstone the wife of Mr. A. C. Elphinstone M.L.A on the 12th February 1921 in memory of the 15 local boys who fell in the First World War.
The Brisbane Courier, 14th February 1921.
