About the memorial: Cenotaph in the shape of a casket-Starting from the base it rises four square, massive and inspiring. Then there come courses of bold and full moulding, finishing a plinth of noble proportions. From these courses there rises the main body of the monument, courses of cambered freestone, reaching a squared capital. These cambered stones show five panels, all cambered – one at each end and three in front. Of the three, the centre panel is in high relief, two inches in front of its flanks, and each panel holds twenty-two names. Severe, classic simplicity marks the finish. Springing from the main column a bevelled course rises to its apex, and there the memorial stands four square, as the heroes stood, whose names its sculpture shows. Surrounding the monument are two steps forming a chaste, simple, expressive base. At the top of the knowe in the cemetery. Afton Road is an unclassified road off the B741 half a mile south of the town
