The War Memorial commemorates those from the district who served in World War One.  Standing over 3.6m in height, the glass art panels feature imagery sourced form the Australian War Memorial and colour grades that unite them with the bluestone plinth - a locally sourced stone.

The monument also commemorates the 64 Australians who received the Victoria Cross during World War One, including Winchelsea’s Albert Jacka. The Victoria Cross is the highest award for acts of bravery in wartime. Funding was received through the Anzac Centenary Grants Program.
