The memorial is a white marble plaque, with a St Andrew's Cross engraved in the top two corners. It is attached to a wall in St Andrew's Chapel within St Andrew's Cathedral in Sydney. The inscription is blackened and a small Australian Army badge is at the top of the plaque. The stone to which this plaque is now attached was brought from Changi and there is a brass plate detailing this immediately below the marble plaque.
