A statue of a serviceman stands on a circular, stepped pedestal which is set on a large stone hexagonal plinth with four steps. The soldier wears tropical dress, holds binoculars and has a rifle slung over his shoulder. On three sides of the plinth are name plaques. On the fourth side is a plaque with an inscription and the Arms of West Riding of York and Halifax. There are carvings of equipment on the pedestal, and a relief frieze of cavalry and horse artillery around the drum.
