It is in the form of a 3.7m tall Latin cross bearing a crucifixion, built in Weldon Stone. It has a two-stepped octagonal base on which stands an octagonal plinth. There are shields carved in relief on four of the plinth sides. The cross shaft is square in section, tapering throughout its length. The stone carved figure of Christ crucified is on the eastern face of the memorial, looking towards the main road. On the upper tier of the two-stepped base each of the eight sides are inscribed in low relief with the battle areas (south-east) PALESTINE, (south) EAST AFRICA, (south-west) YPRES, (west) AISNE, (north-west) JUTLAND, (north) SOMME, (north-east) MARNE (the eastern side is presently (2017) illegible).
