The memorial is a covered resurrection cross on an octagonal shaft mounted on a square, chamfered base, upon which are inscribed the names of the fallen in alphabetic order, all mounted on a square plinth. The memorial was originally erected in 1920 as a memorial to those who gave their lives in WWI but these names and the dedication only occupy three of the faces on the base. The fourth face has been used to record the names of the fallen from WW2. There has also been the addition of the names of Sydney and Vincent Dennis to those on the north side.
The full list of names and dedication reads:
