Swan Reach War MemorialPrint Page 
The monument commemorates those who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved. It was originally erected to commemorate those who served in World War One.
At Swan Reach on Friday February 8, in the presence of a large gathering of residents, a roll of honour was unveiled, bearing the names of 40 men of the district who have volunteered. Mr. George Bartlett, president of the roll of honour committee, introduced Mr. R. A. O'Connor, M.P., who performed the unveiling ceremony.
The roll of honour is a fine piece of work, and stands on a conspicuous site. It is made of Angaston marble, and is over 12 ft. high, with a cement basement. The construction and lettering of the roll were carried out by Messrs. George Morgan & Sons, and the cost was subscribed by the residents. Six of the men whose names are on the roll have made the supreme sacrifice, and in their honour the Last Post was sounded by Mr. A. Woolford. The Swan Reach Brass Band and the Public School Band rendered selections.
