Swansea War Memorial, War memorial in Uplands, United Kingdom.
The Swansea War Memorial consists of a Portland stone pylon reaching 9.5 meters high, topped with a stone chest representing an empty tomb.
Field Marshal Douglas Haig laid the foundation stone in July 1922, and the memorial was constructed using £3,000 raised through public donations.
Bronze plaques on the memorial walls display over 2,200 names of Swansea residents who died during World War I, World War II, and subsequent conflicts.
The memorial stands in Southend Gardens with wheelchair accessibility, providing visitors a space to pay respects throughout the year.
The memorial's bronze plaques incorporated swastikas in their corner designs, intended as traditional symbols of good fortune before World War II.
