| Obverse lettering | ELIZABETH II·D·G·REG·F·D·5 POUNDS·2017· J.C (Translation: Elizabeth the Second by the Grace of God Queen Defender of the Faith) |
| Reverse description | The central field depicts a First World War battlefield scene commemorating the Battles of Arras, showing artillery crews operating field guns in a muddy landscape with two biplanes — a large aircraft prominently in the upper centre and a smaller one to the left — flying overhead. The composition conveys the combined arms nature of the Arras campaign of 1917. The engraver's initials JB appear below the central scene. The legend 1914 THE FIRST WORLD WAR 1918 arcs around the upper periphery, while the word ARRAS appears prominently in the lower segment, separated from the field by a raised border. |
