In 1921 the Whangarei Beautifying Society planted an oak tree in memory of each of the soldiers from Onerahi who had died during the First World War. The trees were saved from being cut down in the 1990s, when a memorial was placed at the site (this information comes from the brochure, Heritage Trails of Early Onerahi, produced by the Onerahi Resource Centre Trust in 2017). The memorial is a granite slab with 10 names inscribed: B.B. McKenzie, C.F. Dickson, H.A. Dickson, H.A. Going, H.J. Edwards, J. Lupton, C.M. Windram, P.W. Pullman, W.T. Spratt and C. Heard.
St Stephen's Anglican Church, immediately across the road from the memorial grove, displays a roll of honour inscribed with the same 10 names.
A row of pōhutukawa trees has also been planted in the vicinity, not necessarily for memorial purposes.
