The memorial, mounted on a stone pedestal, is in the shape of a cross constructed from the steel framework of a Bayley bridge. It was designed by two engineers: Królikowski and Urbanowicz. At the base of the memorial there are two plaques with inscriptions in Polish and Latin:
"IN THIS PLACE, THE SOLDIERS OF THE 5TH TH KRESOWA INFANTRY DIVISION, FORCEFULLY TORN FROM THEIR FATHERLAND, THEIR MARCH BACK TO POLAND LEADING THEM THROUGH PRISONS, CAMPS, THE SIBERIAN TUNDRA, ACROSS DESERTS AND SEAS, FOUGHT A 7-DAY BATTLE. 503 WERE KILLED, 1,531 WERE WOUNDED".
And the second plaque:
"IN THE NAME OF THE LAWS OF GOD AND OF MAN, FOR YOUR FREEDOM AND OURS, FULFILLING THE TESTAMENT LEFT BY THEIR FOREFATHERS, CARRYING OUT THEIR DUTIES TO THE LIVING, AS A SIGNPOST FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS, FOR WILNO AND FOR LWÓW, SYMBOLS OF THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND, THEY FOUGHT – DIED – AND WERE VICTORIOUS".
The monument was crowned with the coat of arms of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, with three fields bearing images of the Polish White Eagle, the Lithuanian Vytis and Archangel Michael, and also the arms of the cities of Wilno and of Lwów. All three coats of arms were later stolen at some stage. After his death in 1992, the ashes of Gen. Klemens Stanisław Rudnicki (1897 – 1992), deputy commander of the 5th Division were scattered at the foot of the monument.
