Owing to constant problems the direction signs have been removed but attempts will be made at resiting them The memorial consists of a 15 metre semi-circular Jungshai stone wall 2.5 metres high, with 8 centimetres thick dedication and name panels in Botticino limestone, and a 6 centimetres thick sawn-stone paving. The names commemorated on the Memorial are of those who served in garrisons and died in Pakistan (formerly India) during the 1914-1918 War and who lie buried in civil and cantonment cemeteries (excluding those graves lying west of the river Indus), but whose graves have been found impossible to maintain adequately.
