The memorial is a white marble statue of a World War I soldier with arms reversed on a granite obelisk on a 3 stepped base. The soldier statue is unusual in that it wears a moustache. It is supported by a representation of a tree trunk. There are white marble urns at each corner of the base, excepting one broken off and missing at the north-west corner. The monument stands in its own enclosure bounded by concrete posts and steel rail fence on three sides and steel posts and chain fence on the fourth.  There are flagpoles at the south east and north west corners.
