The Memorial, an Obelisk, is made from grey Cornish Granite taken from the same quarries as that used for the cenotaph in London.
It stands on a foundation of Portland cement 13ft square and 3ft 9ins deep. It is laid on the natural rock formation of the site. The inner area of the six base courses is filled in with cement concrete.
