The Nambucca Heads War Memorial is a stone obelisk, with four sides inscribed with the names of the fallen and those who served in the First World War. Originally dedicated on 3 May 1931, a roll for the Second World War was added at a later date. Behind the obelisk is a brick wall, with multiple plaques attached, including service insignias and dedications to individual soldiers. The memorial is fenced on the other three sides and flagpoles are sited at the rear. The memorial is located on the southern end of the Nambucca Heads RSL Club car park. It was relocated there in 1999. The Nambucca and Bellinger News, 8 May 1931 described the monument and the unveiling ceremony in detail. At that stage it was situated at the vortex of the triangular reserve in front of the Victoria Hotel. It had a reinforced concrete foundation, on which was erected three steps with three leading up to a terrazo block. A block of Uralla granite was erected there with a die of similar material, on top of which stood the obelisk. The whole of the granite work was highly polished. The monument cost approximately 120 pounds and it was erected by Mr W.D. Hodge of Macksville. The newspaper also listed the names of those killed and those who had returned. The ceremony was organised by a committee of leading Nambucca Head residents. A procession made its way from School of Arts, consisting of some 60 returned soldiers and 20 member of the Junior Red Cross. Mr A.H. Boyd, Chairman of the Macksville Branch R.S.S.I.L. attended and speakers included Councillor Henderson, Lieutenant Clark (Headmaster of Macksville Public School) and Mr W.D. Hodge. Those who officiated were Reverends Watts and Stevens while Mr R.S. Vincent M.L.A. unveiled the monument.
