A bronze, full-length statue of a soldier in battle dress stands on a granite plinth, facing east. He wears a great coat and helmet, with his gas mask holder at the front, water bottle to the side and back pack. His crossed hands lean on his rifle.

The platform has two steps formed of large slabs of granite. Above this the plinth is square in section with a wider portion to its base which has alternating projecting and recessed quoins to the corners. At the centre of each face are large bronze plaques with lettering in relief. To the top of the plinth on the east side is a carved oval laurel wreath with crossed torches, in relief. The flanks and rear have similar bronze plaques, which record the fallen from the First World War. Surrounding the monument, and enclosing flower beds, is a square, walled enclosure of squared rubble sandstone with coping, which appears to be a later addition.
