The central plinth was unveiled in 1939, and was the last memorial to the Great War to be unveiled in the UK. It replaced ‘The Shrine’ a wooden memorial, in place on the same site, before the Great War ended. After the Second World War, the inscription on the Mumbles 1914-1918 Memorial was re-carved and ‘1939—1945’ added, commemorating the fallen of the two wars on its single plinth.
The new Mumbles memorial was re-dedicated on 11th November 2006, when granite plinths were added either side inscribed with the names of the fallen.
