The war memorial is located in the centre of New Tredegar town, in a dominant position on steps in a walled enclosure, backing onto the church of St Dingat and the adjacent Hall and opposite the Tredegar Arms Hotel. The memorial commemorates the fallen of the First World War, 1914-18 with names added after Second World War, 1939-45. It comprises a red granite pedestal with white marble figures. The pedestal consists of 3 shallow rock-faced steps supporting a polished pier with battered plinth, inscription panel on front and names on three sides of the main pier and plinth sections, with tooled plain deep frieze and coping; the sections are separated by rock-faced bands. Two life-size figures: one a standing soldier with gun at the ready, the other hatless, collapsed and clasping his head with one hand. Attributable to L. F. Roslyn and is similar to one at Maesteg.
