The monument is in the centre of the hall and is enclosed by a brass railing. It is placed on a painted stone plinth with a marble top, at the centre of the plinth there is a rectangle marble plaque bordered by patterned “THEIR NAMES LIVETH FOR EVERMORE” and a patterned marble border with patterned pillars topped with alabaster scrolls. The brass plate with the war dead is in the centre of an ornate shrine which has a wreath above held by two cherubs with the gold painted inscription “FOR COUNTRY AND KING” inside it, above this there are three sculptures on the left a mother and child in the middle a soldier on a horse sword drawn and a weeping woman. Below the soldier gold painted “SHAWLANDS ACADEMY” above his head a feather plume.
