This monument is in the traditional style, but does not have a specific inscription dedicating the monument to Sussex County Confederate soldiers. There is, however, a list of local Confederate units from Sussex Count inscribed on the back.

The main inscription reads:

Elsewhere on he monument are two crossed Confederate battle flags with "1681-1865" inscribed above; the words "OUR CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS" and the dedication inscription from the local chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Images of all inscriptions are in the waymark gallery.
