The cenotaph has a sandstone exterior and is located on a grassed round-about at the centre of the intersection of George, Station and Pryor streets in Quirindi. Originally unveiled in 1924 to honour the men who fell during the First World War, the memorial has had several renovations and additions overtime to represent and record the names of all those who fell in conflicts and peace keeping missions since the Boer War. The names are recorded on a series of glazed marble tablets inserted into the face of the tower. The original foundation stone was laid on 26 September 1924 by R J P Simson and several other dedication tablets have been added over time to mark the various modifications to the site. On the 8 April 1935 the Sydney Morning Herald published a tender notice for the stonework necessary for the completion of the base of the war memorial. Plans, specifications and a sample of stone required could be seen at the Returned Sailors and Soldiers Imperial League of Australia office at the Anzac Memorial, Hyde Park, Sydney. Extensive renovations to the memorial were completed and opened by the Hon. David Elliott, Minister for Veterans Affairs, on 24 October 2017.
