The memorial is positioned in the centre of a 20 foot (6m) diameter circular area. It is made of polished granite and is surrounded with a garden of rosemary. It measures 1.5m tall, 2m long, and 1.5m wide. It is surrounded by four identical granite posts, 20cm square by 86cm high and connected by chain.
On one side of the memorial, is an honour roll for the Second World War and Vietnam. Engraved into the polished granite base of the memorial are the words ‘Lest we forget’. On the reverse side, etched into the granite are the years from1939 to 1945.
The memorial is located at the end of a pathway approximately 110 feet (33m) long and 5 feet (1.5m) wide. The path starts near the school's administrative office and a commemorative monument for the 103rd Australian General Hospital. There are five steps at the start and then the path proceeds on a slight decline through an open grassed area.
The original memorial was dedicated and unveiled on 8 November 1947, with 18 names engraved on it, highlighted with gold paint. It was relocated to the Masonic Centre in Sydney when the 78.6 hectares of land was sold to the Baulkham Hills Shire Council in 1973. Inspection of the old memorial at the Masonic Centre, shows an additional name (C. M. Wood KIA 7 July 1944) from the Second World War was added after the dedication in 1947 and omitted from the new memorial. The Vietnam veteran was added after his death in June 1970 on both memorials.
