The decoration includes carved florals, false ogee and trefoil pattern 'tracery' moulding panels. It stands on two legs formed by projecting 'pilaster'-like features that extend to the ground. The two carved inscription panels are doors that open to reveal the hand written roll of honour of all who served.
