A tall rectangular stone pylon, standing on three steps, topped by a stone chest (the symbolically empty tomb or 'cenotaph'). The sides of the pylon bear low relief wreaths to narrow sides with dates. Broad sides have relief of anchor in wreath and Swansea Arms, below which is inscription. The cenotaph precinct is surrounded by an octagonal wall with four entrances. The inner faces of the wall bear bronze plaques with names of the fallen. The corners of the plaques are decorated with swastikas as symbols of good luck. The stones record details of ceremonies. There is a wreath on the front face, with the army, navy and air force crests on other sides.
