The Parish War Memorial takes the form of a stone memorial plaque on the internal southern wall of the church of St John the Baptist, Okewood Hill. It details the names of 15 men of the parish who gave their lives in the First World War. Of these men Lance Corporal Harry Duffell DCM MM , of the 2nd Royal Irish Regiment, is also mentioned on the Ewhurst War Memorial. The men from Oakwood Hill also appear on the Forest Green War Memorial.

Within the church there is also a Roll of Honour, detailing all of the parish men who served, including the men who returned. In the graveyard there is a monument (a very weathered sandstone cross) to the memory of Lt Richard Henry Powell, of the 5th Bn Royal Sussex Regiment, who was killed in action on 9th May 1915 during the battle of Aubers Ridge.Whilst Lt Powell does not appear on the Okewood Hill Memorial Plaque or Roll of Honour, it is interesting to note that this officer was the subject of a short poem by Robert Laurence Binyon, "In Memory of Richard Henry Powell":

Binyon also wrote the poem For The Fallen, the fourth verse of which is so well known from Remembrance Services:
