This memorial was erected in the 1930s by the Ladies Auxiliary in honour of the local veterans of the First World War. It was officially dedicated on 11 November 1931. It was constructed in front of the Swan River High School, which has since burned down. This memorial was upgraded in 2004 by the Swan River Royal Canadian Legion. They enlarged the base, installed two new stelias and two new flagpoles. It was rededicated on 8 November 2005.
