Each elevation of the plinth bears an inscribed marble plaque flanked by engaged pilasters under a dentilled cornice. The plaque on the front (east) elevation is inscribed: ‘FOR GOD / FOR KING AND COUNTRY / TO THE GLORIOUS MEMORY / OF THE MEN OF / KIRTON IN LINDSEY / WHO DIED IN THE / GREAT WAR / 1914 – 1919’, and the plaques on the side elevations bear the names of the fallen. The rear elevation bears the inscription: ‘THIS MONUMENT WAS / ERECTED BY PUBLIC / SUBSCRIPTION SEPT 26TH 1920’. The south elevation also bears a plaque at the base of the plinth with the dates of the Second World War (1939-45), and the names of eight of the fallen. The monument is surrounded by a poured concrete path and metal railings (replaced around 2010). The memorial is prominently situated on the village green at the corner of Northcliff Road and King Edward Street.
