The shaft stands on a two-tiered plinth with a single-step base. The front of the plinth has two recessed panels, one on each tier. The upper tier displays an inscription that reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ THE GIVER OF VICTORY AND/ TO THE UNDYING MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF UPPER HILL/ WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 1919." The lower tier is incised with the names of the fallen and the inscription "BY THEIR DEATH WE LIVE."
On the left face of the lower tier, there is a name from 1920, while the right face includes the details of a fallen submariner from the Second World War.
