It comprises a large plain rectangular plinth below the main body of the memorial, a rectangular inscribed panel flanked on either side by moulded pilasters. Each pilaster is fluted and contains a pair of maltese crosses in false-relief. At the base of the pilasters are ceramic tiles. The pediment is heavily overgrown as is the north side of the monument.
