The memorial consists of a marble/stone cuboid on a larger, square, paved surface bounded by four small wooden columns along each perimeter.
The front face of the cuboid has inscribed the names of those who served in the First and Second World Wars. The names of those who served in the Second World War are in alphabetical order. Those who served in First World War are not. The rear face of the cuboid has two emblems. The top one is a stylised version of the tri-service logo. The bottom is the Merchant Navy logo.
A flagpole stands behind the memorial.
