About the memorial: Obelisk situation at the junction of Peck Hill and Chapel Hill In brand new condition, the square base is made of concrete while all other sections are of a dark red marble with gold lettering thereon. Above the concrete base is a taller square section of stone slightly smaller at its base than the concrete base so that it is stepped inward, it has chamfered edges at the top. Above this is a taller square column of stone, and again the top is chamfered inward, again it is stepped inward from the stone beneath. Above this, and once again stepped inward, is a tall square column of stone with its top chamfered inward to form a point. The concrete base is 94cm square by 13 cm high, the section above is 77cm square by 23cm high, and it then chamfers inward another 13cm to give a total height of 36cm. The tall section above is 56cm square by 78cm high and then chamfers inward another 13cm for a total height of 91cm. The column above is 26cm square by 185cm high to which is added a 13cm chamfer.
