It is a tall rectangular block of granite which is capped with a pyramidal shape with small projecting points at each corner. The names are carved in wide bands around all sides of the obelisk. On the front face near the base is a carved wreath with 1914 - 1918 within it. It sits on a cross-shaped two-step plinth with a step up on either side.
