The memorial is to be found at the Gordon Street entrance to Glasgow Central Railway Station, Gordon Street, Glasgow. It takes the form of an elaborate plaque fixed to the south front of the stone arches leading to Gordon Street. At the top is device of lion rampant, enclosed within a wreath. On each side of the memorial is a flag and wreath combination with a crown at the peak of the staff, bound with wreaths of laurel attached to the central panel that contains the inscription. The names are listed in six columns with a palm tree branch, symbolic of peace at their foot. In front of the memorial was a collecting box fashioned from artillery shells of various calibres, with a plaque on the largest which was lost by May 2018 so an additional World War 2 plaque has been added to the plinth.
