This zinc monument is composed of a square base with writing on all four faces and an angel on top. The whole monument is zinc coated, the writing is easy to read like for all zinc monuments I have seen so far. There is a bit of breakage at the bottom of the base and at the back of the left wing of the angel. There are also some dark spots all around the monument.
Here are the texts on all four faces of the monument, starting with the front and going around the monument clockwise. Note that there are texts on the plinth, front and rear.
