The 6 o'clock face of the pillar has a beaded-edge, recessed panel containing a variety of emblems in relief. At the head is a crown superimposed on a Latin cross upon a two-stepped base. On the side of the base, also in relief, is a fleur-de-lys above wavy lines, representing France over the water where the fallen lay. Below, the inscription and names are incised, in a variety of lettering styles, within an oblong panel. The other three faces of the tablet are plain. The top plinth has a a moulded top, an unbound wreath in relief on the 6 o'clock face and an inscription incised in upright capital Roman lettering on the 12 o'clock face.
