The remaining sides of the plinth are also decorated with panels of blind tracery. Mounted on alternate faces are bronze plaques bearing the ranks, names and regiments of the men who died in the First World War, and also Nurse Elizabeth Hunt. A bronze plaque bearing the names of those who died in the Second World War is mounted on one face with the dedication ALSO IN MEMORY OF/ (NAMES)/ 1939-45. The memorial stands in a small paved area, enclosed by a low chain suspended from small wooden posts.
