The memorial consists of a cobble stone plinth with two plaques on either side. A stone cross stands on top of the plinth.

The memorial is dedicated to the 2,423 Officers and other ranks serving the Australian Imperial Force who fell in the fields at Bullecourt in France during the First World War.

One inscription reads "To the glory of God and in the memory of 2423 Officers and other ranks serving the Australian Imperial Forces who fell in these fields and have no known grave, April - May 1917, R.I.P".

The other inscription reads " In memory to all the officers and men of the 18th Battalion First AIF who served and fell on the battlefields of France 1914 - 1918. We forever remember the debt we owe".

Built by Jean Letaille, Edmond Delattre and Jean Lacour to honour the memory of the Australians missing from the Battles of Bullecourt, 1917. The original wooden cross, built in 1981, was replaced in 1982. The memorial is constructed using stones from roadways of the original Bullecourt village. The Cross installed on the Memorial's base and the Dedication Plate was funded by Le Souvenir Francais Arras.

The conception and inspiration for this memorial was due to the persistent enquiries from a Mrs Gladys Stafford of Port Melbourne who searched, in vain, for many years to find her brother, 2675 Private Alfred William King, 57th Battalion, listed as Killed in Action, 12 May 1917. The location of the Memorial is based on being as close as possible to the place where A W King was lost and, at that time, believed to be still lying across the road, in the nearby Battlefield.
