The stone and bronze Dalby War Memorial was unveiled on 26 July 1922 by the Governor of Queensland, Sir Matthew Nathan. The memorial and gates were designed by local monumental mason, J. Shill and the bronze statue was cast at the foundry of A B Burton in London. The memorial gates are flanked by sandstone pillars surmounted by torch shaped lights. The top of the front face of each pillar has a relief carved AIF badge with the date 1914 carved below the emblem on the left, and 1919 on the right
The sandstone memorial comprises a pedestal surmounted by an Australian Infantry soldier standing with head bowed and arms reversed.
