Three of the panels bear the names of the fallen, arranged by year, with those who died in the Second World War added below those who had fallen in 1918. The memorial is topped with a ball entwined with laurel garland; on top of the ball is a coronet and a short cross. The pillar stands on a three-stepped square limestone base.
