This monument includes a granite plaque atop a small stone pedestal at the base of an M4 Sherman tank. The plaque features French text in gold leaf with unit insignia. Several information signs explain the tank battle that occurred here in September 1944.

The memorial was placed to commemorate the service of Major General John Shirley Wood, the Commander of the 4th Armored "Breakthrough" Division during the large tank battle known as the "Battle of Arracourt" (September 18-29, 1944). A flag pole stands on each side of the monument, and a display of the battle is immediately to the east.

 The tank has markings of the 37th Armored Regiment.
