Resting on a freestone base it is composed of trachyte and granite and the names of the soldiers are in gold lettering on two sides. On another side of the tablet is the inscription, "Erected in honor the citizens of Wallerawang who served the cause of freedom in the great war, 1914- 1918," and " The Path of Duty was the way to Glory."
