The First World War Honour Board measures 2 meters high and 2.5 meters wide, displaying 94 names of Queensland Lands Department staff who enlisted.

The wooden memorial, constructed in 1917 by wood carver George Varley Boyce, was unveiled by Queensland Governor Sir Hamilton Goold-Adams on May 2, 1917.

The central panel features the Queensland coat of arms with gold-painted names, complemented by metal plaques depicting military units in combat situations.

Located on the first floor of the Lands Administration Building at 308 Queen Street, Brisbane, the memorial receives annual wreath-laying ceremonies on April 25.
