The figure of a serviceman in mourning pose is identical to the Rhynie & Kearn War Memorial. The stonemasons of both were Morren & Co, Holland St, Aberdeen. The carver at Udny was Frank Coutts. Rhynie was the work of Robert Warrack Morrison.

There are 14 men named on the WW2 panel to the rear of the memorial.
