The shaft rises from a two stepped granite plinth. There is a smoothed panel at the base of the shaft which carries the first of the names. INSCRIPTION: the top section of the plinth reads: IN HONOURED AND GRATEFUL/ MEMORY OF THE MEN WHO FELL/ IN THE GREAT WAR, 1914 – 1918/ “GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS”.
