The cenotaph itself is a four sided obelisk with beveled corners, giving it eight sides. Standing on an octagonal concrete pad with a small surrounding chain fence, it appears to be made of white painted granite.
The front face of unpainted granite bears inscriptions of the fallen of World War I with the words:
In Memoriam
1914 - 1918
The cenotaph stands at the entrance to the churchyard cemetery and at the corner of the small parking lot at the front of the church. Church, cenotaph and cemetery are immediately adjacent to the south side of the Trans Canada Highway in Sorrento.
Below the Great War inscriptions is a bronze plaque which simply reads:
"Lest We Forget"
