Palmerston North Boys' High School War Memorial Gallery commemorates 203 Old Boys who lost their lives in the First World War, Second World War, and Falklands War.

The stained glass windows in the Memorial Gallery represent the three branches of the armed forces – Army, Navy and Air Force. The names of those killed in both world wars are written on two honours boards, and their photographs adorn the gallery walls. Richard Absolon, killed fighting for British forces in the Falkland Islands, is also remembered.
