The memorial is located on Ealing Green at the entrance to the old main library in Pitshanger Manor House near the junction of Mattock Lane and Bond Street, Ealing, London W5. It takes the form of two quadrant walls bearing names with four piers, two flanking the gates and two at extremities of the walls, all surmounted by stone vases. In the central section are two wrought iron gates. There are 1,058 names listed for World War 1 and 512 for World War 2. The memorial was originally dedicated 13th November 1921. The World War II names are added on two ‘wings’ each side of the memorial, and also on a small number of separate panels, above those of World War 1.
