    On a podium with three steps, there is a high rectangular multi-level plinth. Everything made of bluestone. A large bronze statue of King Albert I has been placed on this. The king is sitting on horseback, in military uniform with helmet and army jacket and the sword to the side.

    On the pedestal: on the front, 'TO KING / ALBERT / AND HIS ARMY / 1914-1918'.

    Execution: Oct. Rotsaert (signed); Vindevogel Brothers, Ghent (bronze caster) (not signed); City architect Bruges (pedestal designer) (not signed)
