The column is made of red granite from Aberdeen, Scotland. The granite grail at the top of the column is from nearby Uralla. The column sits atop a stone pillar, with marble steps at the base. The memorial tablets set in concrete on the four sides of the pillar are of Swedish granite and the steps are from Wagga Wagga. A plaque with dedication and honour roll for the Second World War has been added at the bottom of the pillar on the front face. The memorial and garden were opened in 1922, having been established from public donations. The nearby memorial gates were donated by pupils of Walcha Preparatory School.
