The war memorial cross, located 20 meters north-west of the cemetery chapel in Kingston upon Hull, was constructed around 1920 and is likely designed by Sir Edwin Blomfield. It is made of Portland stone ashlar and features a tapered octagonal section cross that is faced with a bronze sword. The memorial stands on an inscribed octagonal pedestal with a plinth and has an octagonal base with a plain cornice and a single step.
