The monument commemorates Thomas Innes and Arthur Dignam, who died in service or were killed in action during World War One.
It is a rectangular shaped monument constructed from sandstone blocks and resting on a poured concrete base set in a garden area and facing south west. Sandstone blocks form a rectangular base with one row of sandstone blocks placed vertically around three sides of the base which form a small retaining wall.
A rectangular shaft rises from the centre of the base and consists of blocks of sandstone joined with mortar. The first layer has a bevelled edge and the top two layers are set in with decorative curved elements on each side. A polished granite plaque is attached to the front face.
