The Memorial comprises a large Christian style cross chalked into the countryside and a commemorative bench and plaque. The original commemorative stone has been moved to the village churchyard with a Second World War memorial. The memorial mentions several Australians.

The cross was first carved into the slopes of the Downs in 1922, from funds donated from the village, as a memorial to those who fell in the Great War. During the Second World War the cross had to be filled in to avoid it being used as a navigation aid by the Luftwaffe. It was fully restored in 1994 and is now officially dedicated in remembrance of those who lost their lives in both the First and Second World Wars.

The annual memorial service was held at the site until the 1960's when it was moved to the local church along with the commemorative stones.

Mr C.H. Groom, the school headmaster, designed the cross and the commemorative stone / enclosure.

Lenham, England.

Full access to the Memorial can be had from the North Downs Way, about a mile north of Lenham. The cross can be easily observed from here and from the A20.
