The memorial is an obelisk made of cement and pebble conglomerate on a 2 stepped concrete base. The top is pyramid shaped.  On the south and east sides are concrete-edged spaces in the form of a cross, each backed with red glass. A compartment on the north side appears to be access to lighting for the crosses, but is empty. Polished red granite plaques at the top of each face bear the names of campaigns.
