At the top of the front face of the pillar is an inscription reading 'Erected / in the proud memory of the men of / Bedwas & Trethomas / who gave their lives in the Great War / 1914'. At the 4 corners of this inscription are small square recesses, each bearing a circle and an entwined cross in relief. Two incised vertical lines incorporate the inner sides of the recesses.
