The memorial is a white marble tablet inscribed in Welsh. It is located in the St. Michael's Parish Church which is a medieval church built in the 13th and 14th century. The stone church had an substantial addition in the 15th century which forms the larger side of the church. The two sides of the church separated by a series of open arches.
The memorial is inscribed in Welsh:
Er Cof Annwyl Am y Bechgyn
Dewrion O'r Plwyf Hwn
A Fu Farw Yn Y Rhyfel
1939 - 1945
F. Iryl Price Pte. S. Staffs Regiment
Thomas W. Rogers. Flt/Lt. A.T.A.
E. Glanmor C. Thomas, Driver R.A.S.C.
Llais un gorthrymydd byth ni ddaw
I'w deffro i wylo mwy.
Na phrofedigaeth Iem, na chroes
Un loes ni theimlant hwy.
Gossodwyd y gofeb hon gan y Plwyfolion fel
teyrnged i aberth yr uchod
This is roughly translated as:
In Memory Dear For Boys
This valiant From Parish
And who died in the War
1939 - 1945
Voice one oppressor will never come
To be awakened to cry more.
No bereavement Day, not cross
Same anguish we feel them.
This monument as the Parishioners
tribute to the sacrifice of the above
