The memorial is a tapered block of black onyx, inscribed with a dedication and a map of Vietnam. Behind the block is a curved brick wall, attached to which is a honour roll of those from Glen Innes and District who served in Vietnam. Defence Force insignas for the Royal Australian Navy, Australian Commonwealth, Military Forces, and Royal Australian Air Force are also attached. In front of the memorial is a circle of brick paving. A plaque with the history of Australia's involvement in Vietnam is set into the bricks.
