Nireaha war memorial

The local Member of Parliament, G.R. Sykes, and Colonel A.H. Herbert, of Eketāhuna, formally opened the Nireaha war memorial library on 9 January 1924. The library building, situated in the Nireaha Domain, had the appearance of a small roughcast bungalow.

The  roll of honour installed in the porch was headed: 1914-1918 / IN HONOUR OF THE MEN / WHO LEFT NIREAHA AND DISTRICT FOR THE FRONT. / - / ERECTED BY "THE NIREAHA GIRLS' CLUB". There followed 43 names, including the names of 12 men who had died).

A second roll of honour with 39 names (one death) was erected after World War II. Some years later a small plaque with two names from the Vietnam War was added.
