The memorial is situated at the eastern end of a strip of parkland running down the centre of Alexandra Avenue from Prescott Terrace. The parkland is lined with trees, each planted in dedication to a Burnside soldier killed in the Great War.

The memorial consists of a granite obelisk surmounted by a cast bronze sculpture of an AIF infantryman in battle order, reaching down as if to a fallen comrade. The artist was C. Web-Gilbert. On each side of the obelisk is a bronze plaque listing the Burnside soldiers killed in the Great War. On the eastern (front) side of the obelisk is also a plaque dedicated to soldiers killed in World War II, Korea and Vietnam.
