The monument is a marble statue of a World War One soldier on a granite pillar which commemorates those who served in World War One.

The entrance gates and the park in which the memorial stands commemorate Albert Jacka, a local resident who was the first Australian to be awarded the Victoria Cross in World War One. The entrance gates form part of the memorial.
