The memorial symbolises the poignant moment after the infantry buglers sounded the ceasefire in Korea on 27 July 1953. This conflict was the regiment's last battle honours. The sculpture of a single soldier mirrors one at the National Arboretum in Staffordshire. The statue is modelled from a photograph of the then 18–year-old Colour Sgt Brandon Mulvey, from Chester-le-Street.
