The memorial is of Ayrshire stone, six feet long and five feet high. The names of the fallen, the carving of the panels, the symbolism, and the inscription are in relief. In the centre is a large cross, surrounded by a laurel wreath. On either side are the Greek letters Alpha and Omega, and the symbols of the U.F. Church.
