The
memorial is located in St Margaret of Scotalnd churchyard and takes
the form of a cross, with a sculpture of Christ being crucified, on
a long shaft on an octagonal base with a two-stepped base. There are
crests sculpted on the base and the inscriptions are on metal plates
that have eroded and become unreadable. Battle locations appear to
be inscribed around 8 sides of the monument base with Aisne, Jutland,
Somme and Ypres visible but many of the others are eroded and unreadable.
There are names for both World War 1 and World War 2.
