The memorial was unveiled on September 28, 1985, by Mayor Cortenraad.

HUNSEL VRIJ
BRIGADE PIRON

The war memorial in Hunsel is a bronze statue of a man and a woman holding a child. The statue stands on a pedestal of white natural stone with bronze inscription. The memorial is 2 meters high and 1 meter wide.

The inscription on the pedestal reads:

'BRIGADE PIRON
25-09-1944
HUNSEL FREE'

The dates 1940-1945 are also inscribed on the front of the pedestal.

On September 25, 1994, the original inscription was replaced by a bronze band around the pedestal. On this day, together with the Piron Brigade, the liberation of Hunsel and the surrounding area on September 25, 1944, was commemorated. The original inscription read: 'A lasting memory of the victims of World War II who fell in the present-day municipality of Hunsel'.
