The memorial is made of rock-faced stone and features a marble statue. The base of the memorial includes inscribed names of those commemorated, while a panel displays an inscription and an olive branch, along with a trophy of arms beneath it. The statue depicts Britannia holding a wreath, a shield, and a flag.
