The memorial consists of a tall, classical stone pedestal with a deep, moulded base and plinth, standing on a shallow, stepped platform. The pedestal is surmounted by a dynamic figure of Saint George (patron saint of the Northumberland Fusiliers) on a rearing charger, thrusting a lance into the gorge of the contorted dragon. The upper part of the pedestal has a moulded string-course and deep cornice, the east and west sides are slightly convex. The front face has a relief carving of a lion. The left face has a curved relief depicting a mother and child, and an angel. The right face depicts the figure of Justice, holding scales, stood with another female figure, looking down at a semi-nude female figure on her knees. On the rear face of the pedestal is a large bronze wreath.
