An obelisk of Red Hollington (Staffordshire) stone on a three-stepped stone base in the centre of a stone square. The obelisk is made of two main sections: the bottom section is square-shaped; the top section tapers to a pyramid-shaped top. on the front face of the obelisk is a metal-cast depiction of the regiment's insignia, being the Prince of Wales' feathers within a knotted rope below a crown; on the side faces are two further insignia representing the North and South Staffordshire regiments. There is a stone bench with the emblem of the "Staffordshire Wives" engraved in the centre of the backrest of the bench and with four knotted rope emblems in each corner. The bench has a commemoration engraved on it. The memorial is located within a small grove planted with trees. Within the grove is a small circular red metal plaque on a stave which is dedicated to stretcher-bearer Lance Corporal W.H. Coltman, VC. DCM & Bar. MM & Bar. of the 6th North Staffordshire Regiment.
