Ce mémorial est dédié aux anciens combattants des Première et Seconde Guerres mondiales originaires de la localité. Il a été érigé par le Ladies’ Community Group d’Eugenia. La base de calcaire est surmontée d’une statue grandeur nature représentant un soldat.

Les noms des morts de la Grande Guerre apparaissent au-devant, et ceux des personnes qui ont survécu figurent derrière. Les noms des soldats de la Seconde Guerre mondiale se trouvent sur le côté droit, au bas.
