Narromine War Memorial is a grey-granite column, surmounted by a red-granite orb. The column stands on a rectangular, grey-granite base, positioned upon a three-step platform. The whole is surrounded by a fence. Honour roll panels are attached to the sides of the base, which are inscribed with an honour roll of those who served in the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War.
Planning for a memorial to the Great War was underway by mid-1921. The Dubbo Dispatch and Wellington Independent, 15 July 1921, reported on "one of the largest meetings ever held in Narromine," to discuss the erection of a soldiers' memorial. Two clear, and strongly defended, points of view were expressed by the attendees: build a monument or a public hospital. Despite a vote in favour of the hospital, opposition continued and no decision was made.
In time, the design of the monument was selected, and the Soldiers' Memorial Committee set out to raise funds. The Dubbo Dispatch, 20 June 1922, published an extensive list of donations from the R.S. and S.I. League, as well as many Narromine and district residents.
The memorial was constructed by by stonemasons Messrs W. Larcombe and Sons of Dubbo. It was unveiled by Captain Dunn M.L.A. on Anzac Day, 25 April 1924, in front of a large gathering of returned soldiers and citizens. The polished granite memorial, weighing 18 tons, recorded the names of 47 soldiers who paid the supreme sacrifice. The event was reported in The Dubbo Liberal and Macquarie Advocate on 29 April. Before the unveiling, there was a united church service in the Town Hall. A procession was then lead by members of the Narromine Light Horse over to the monument. Mr E. Cahill, president of the committee, presided over the ceremony and the Mayor, Alderman J. W. Smith, addressed the crowd.
Commemorative ceremonies are held on site throughout the year.
