The fourteen bronze panels behind the statues list the 312 officers and men who died in the conflict. The inscription on the three steps of the memorial reads "Erected by the Officers, Warrant Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers and Men of the Royal Army Medical Corps in Memory of their Comrades of the Corps".
