A bronze nude sculpture of a man trampling upon a serpent, to represent victory over adversity, with his left arm raised holding a flaming torch, his right holding a sword. Two children shelter beside him. An inscription runs around the base of the sculpture. The figures are on a granite plinth on a three-stepped base and metal panels on the plinth record the names of the fallen.
