The War memorial was originally erected to commemorate those from the district who died in service or were killed in action in World War One.

Plaques were added at a later date to commemorate those who died in service or were killed in action in World War Two, and a plaque commemorating the 187 National Servicemen who who died in service or were killed in action between 1951 and 1972.

A large gathering witnessed the unveiling on July 1st 1923 of the war memorial erected by local returned soldiers. The memorial is situated on land, near the jetty granted by the Shire Council, and in the course of his remarks the chairman (Mr. T. P. Outridge) outlined the work of the local branch of the R.S.S.I.L.A. in trying to secure a better site. The ceremony of unveiling was performed by General Spencer Browne.
