The First World War Memorial is situated in a park in Booval facing Green Street.
The park is surrounded by a low fence consisting of white painted timber posts linked by a metal chain.
Hill's Figs (Ficus microcarpa var.
Hilli) line the boundary of the park.
New landscaping is currently under construction and comprises a pathway and planting, symmetrically laid out with the memorial as the focal point.
The original fence surrounding the memorial has been removed.

Access to the park is through a new timber pergola.
This is flanked by two large fig trees which align with two more fig trees at the rear of the park.
A new pathway leads from the centre of the pergola to the memorial with a gun or "war trophy" centrally located between the two.
The pathway forms a square around the memorial and rejoins at the rear to continue to a rockery and seating.
At the rockery, the path branches out diagonally, leading to an exit in one direction and a children's play area in the other.
Newly planted trees line the pathway and a flagpole is located on the north side of the memorial.

The memorial stands 22 feet (6.7 m) from the ground and comprises a pedestal and column surmounted by a digger statue.

The granite and marble memorial sits on a stepped base of Melbourne bluestone which is painted.
Surmounting the base is the pedestal, sitting on a marble plinth capped with torus and cyma recta moulding.
The central portion of the pedestal is recessed on all faces and bears the leaded names of the 221 local citizens who served in the First World War and the 16 who died in the Second World War.
Also projecting from the plinth at the four corners are free standing columns of red granite with Ionic order bases and capitals.
These support a large cornice surmounted by marble urns at each corner with a simple curved pediment between.

Above the cornice is a column of red granite with an Ionic capital of marble.
This is surmounted by a marble digger statue, smaller than life-sized standing at ease with arms reversed and supported by a tree stump.
He stands with his feet slightly apart and the rifle rests beside one foot and is held across his body.
