The Cape Town Labour Corps Memorial is located within the Delville Wood Memorial Garden within the Company’s Garden. The garden can be accessed from each side, via Avenue Street, Queen Victoria Street, Wale Street, Orange Street and Gallery Lane. The memorial is in the south-western corner of the garden.
The focus of the memorial is an octagonal stone tempietto surmounted by a bronze group 'Brotherhood' by Alfred Turner. The tempietto is placed on the intersection of the axis created by the north entrance elevation of the South African Museum and the cross axis formed by the east entrance elevation of the South African National Gallery.
