A white robed female figure on plinth with four blocks at each corner and stepped base. Below the figure the block contains a cross. In 2015 a second memorial adorned with names of those to be commemorated was added alongside the original memorial. This second memorial is a black granite plinth with grey granite base and cap. On the front face is the badge of the Royal British Legion while the other three faces contain the names of those commemorated incised in white lettering. The Imperial War Museum lists these two memorials together.
