Above the central stone plaque is a metal plaque with the words “Our Glorious Dead”, listing an additional six names. At the top of the memorial, attached to the wooden beam, is a more recent metal plaque with the wording “Tin hat and Light of Remembrance placed on the memorial in memory of fallen comrades, by Desert Shellhole Moths Camps Bay on 29-4-1990”.
