The Holland Cenotaph was erected in July of 1925 to commemorate soldiers from the Holland area killed during the First World War. It was unveiled on 4 August 1925. The base is made of black granite which sits on cement and another layer of cement is between the base and statue. The statue is a soldier carved from Italian marble and stands on top, gazing slightly to the left. He stands slightly at ease, with hands clasped over the barrel of his rifle. His uniform, cap and accoutrements like the canteen are all expertly carved. A tree stump carved behind the soldier is symbolic of a young life cut short.
Second World War casualties were inscribed after that war.
