The memorial stands at the junction of paths in the north-east part of Brenchley Gardens. Mirroring the form of Lutyens’ cenotaph in Whitehall, London, it is rectangular in plan and stands on a rectangular stone platform of three steps. At the top is a plain chest tomb with a moulded cover, on which lies a laurel wreath. The tomb is on a three-stage base which in turn stands on a tall shaft, set back towards its upper section. At the upper corners of the shaft, are carved stone bosses with laurels suspended by stone fillets. Beneath is a two-stage base with cyma recta moulding to the foot of the shaft.
