The memorial comprises a tapering Latin cross rising from a moulded collar, on top of a tall octagonal shaft. The cross shaft is set on a large four-sided, tiered plinth with corner buttresses. Each buttress is faced with a blind trefoil arch. The principal faces of the plinth carry the dedication and commemorated names. The memorial has a two-stage sloping base and stands on a square stone slab.
