It is designed as a Celtic cross set on a tall pedestal with a pedimented top, which is supported by a three-stage plinth. The main inscription on the memorial states: "In memory / of / the men / of / Silvertown / who gave their lives / in the / Great War / that we might live / 1914-1918," with an additional inscription for the Second World War, reading, "and in the / Second Great War / 1939-1945." The four faces of the upper section are inscribed with the words "Remembrance," "Honour," "Unity," and "Courage." The plinth carries the inscription, "Their names shall live for ever."
