The inscriptions on the memorial read: The memorial, including the statue at top, stands about 50 feet (15 m) high and has a stone base rising in four steps, upon which is a tall column of Manx granite, surmounted by the three ton figure of a soldier called "The Manxman".

[1] It was designed to have a flower garden and guard rail surrounding it and stands on what was once a bandstand area.

[1] The monument was dedicated only to the fallen members of World War I due to the date of its design and introduction.

Names of fallen World War II members were later incorporated into the statue.

The memorial is located along Harris Promenade, across from the Villa Marina, in Douglas, Isle of Man.
