Set back from the road on the northern side of the Gardens of Remembrance.

It was moved to its present site and the Garden of Remembrance opened in 1948.
White ashlar. Two short cenotaph pylons flank a high central plinth on which stands the statue of a uniformed soldier. Original inscriptions are carried in a raised cartouche on the plinth, commemorating the Rhyl men who fell in the South African War, 1899-1902. Names of the dead of the First World War are carried on copper plates on the side pylons, and those of the Second World War and more recent conflicts, on the sides of the central plinth.
