The memorial once had a war trophy - a German minenwerfer ('mine-launcher') - on the base but this disappeared in the 1960s. Its present whereabouts is unknown.
The Flag mast in the background has a granite block at its base:
Inglewood Flagmast (World War II only)
Granite stone at base of mast:
Erected

Of those who
gave their lives in
World War II
1939 - 1945
