The cross stands on a solid rectangular base into which the names and inscriptions are carved. The base stands on a three-step plinth, the top one of which bears further inscriptions. The bottom one is of roughly hewn granite. It was unveiled on May 16, 1920. Full transcription of memorial held in AAS Digital Archive.
