"Approximately 9,800 of Hawaii's citizens served in the U.S. armed forces after America's entry into World War I in 1917 and the names of 101 of those who died are inscribed on a plaque attached to the "Honolulu Stone" situated in front of the Natatorium and unveiled in 1931, four years after the Natatorium."

"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." (
