The Waikiki War Memorial Natatorium was built by the people of Hawaii to honor the brave men and women of Hawaii who served in the Great War. (Hawaii was not yet a state during World War I.)
The Territorial War Commission estimated that over 10,000 men and women are honored by the War Memorial. They not only served overseas as soldiers and sailors, they were Red Cross workers, ambulance drivers and missionaries. They patrolled the harbors, entertained troops and bought war bonds.
During World War I, Iolani Palace was used by the Red Cross for volunteers. Queen Liliuokalani made the Red Cross a flag to hang over Iolani Palace to signify the work being done within. In this photo taken on the steps of Iolani Palace, C.P. Iaukea holds the flag, while Gov. Pinkham delivers the address officially presenting the flag on behalf of Queen Liliuokalani.
After the War Memorial Natatorium was built, a plaque listing the men who died in service of the U.S. and British forces was added to the park in order to give additional recognition to these men who served in “The Great War” and gave their lives in service.
