The Newton Boyd War Memorial column is made from Australian marble. The lower portion of the memorial is square, with each side holding a marble tablet bearing the names and ranks of those from the area who served. One of the tablets is dedicated to those who did not return. The upper portion is a cylindrical column. It has a rifle and sword design moulded into the front. The column is topped by an Ionic capital. The memorial is surrounded by a fence made from concrete posts and metal. The ends of the metal poles are each capped with a fleur-de-lis.
The town of Newton Boyd no longer exists, however the monument remains and is located on the old road between Glen Innes and Grafton.
Some of the veterans listed on the monument can also be seen on the Newton Boyd Honour Roll.
