The lower part of the obelisk is inscribed with the dates of each war, and the plinth inscribed with the names of the fallen, the lettering painted black.

The war memorial stands in a prominent location at the junction of Humberville Road and Pelham Road in Immingham, between the village and Immingham Dock.
