The Cenotaph is of Portland stone on an Aberdeen granite base
with two steps leading up to it. Wings extend from the cenotaph at each side.
The names commemorated are on bronze plaques attached to each side. A low
chain link fence is around the memorial. The whole stands on a traffic island
in a road built for the memorial.
