The Clevedon First World War Memorial was unveiled on the corner of Monument Road and the Papakura road on 28 August 1921. Mrs J.A. Munro, whose son Robert had been the first soldier from the district to lose his life, carried out the unveiling.
The memorial obelisk is set on a concrete plinth and surmounted by a funerary urn. It is inscribed with three lists of names: men who died in action, men who died of wounds, and men who died of sickness, and the name of one man who drowned at sea, a total of 16 names.
In 1952 a Second World War memorial stone was dedicated on the same site. This lists eight local men who gave their lives in the Second World War: Lieutenant J. B. Dow, Flight Sergeant S. Fernyhough, Private H. Hema, Sergeant R.J. Hirst, Warrant Office L.A. Hoppe, Private P. Reuben, Private L.F. Scott, and Lance Corporal D.R. Shaw. Photographs of these men are on display at the Clevedon Historical Society’s museum in the McNicol Homestead, McNicol Road.
The Clevedon schools rolls of honour are held in the Clevedon community hall and the McNicol homestead.
