The memorial was erected to commemorate the 750 men who attended the Hawkesbury Agricultural College and served in the First World War. These men were students, former students, lecturers, and other employees. The memorial also stands as a monument to every Australian who has served in all wars and conflicts.

A second plaque outlines the history of the memorial. The memorial has a bed of river rocks at its base and is located within a grove of established trees with a number of Lone Pine trees and an extensive lawn in the foreground.
