The monument itself is a tall rectangular obelisk topped with a 'pitched-roof' shape from which projects a thin iron cross at right angles to the ground.

The memorial plaque to World War I is on the front while a side panel commemorates the dead of World War II. It was unveiled 24 September, 1922. More Information |
