The Argyle cairn commemorates people from the areas of Argyle, Glenboro and Lenore who were killed in military service during the First and Second World Wars. A lantern is mounted on top of the memorial.
The traditional cairn shape has a concrete sheathing skim. Names on the bronze plaque include 26 from the First World War (including a nurse) and 15 from the Second World War. Three missed names from the First World War were subsequently added.
