The War Memorial in All Saints' Churchyard, Bromsgrove

The First World War Memorial for Bromsgrove is situated in All Saints' Churchyard, Burcot Lane, Bromsgrove.
The memorial is in a very poor state of repair. Originally there were four bronze wreaths and four bronze name panels, but one of the wreaths was stolen several years ago. The remaining wreaths and two of the name panels were stolen between early January 2013 and November 2013,
There are photos of the name panels and one of the wreaths on the web siteWW2Talk.

The memorial commemorates the names of 104 men from Bromsgrove who fell in the First World War.

One Yorkshire Regiment soldier from Bromsgrove is commemorated on the memorial. Fortunately, one of the surviving name panels bears his name and was photographed by Richard Roberts.

We are extremely grateful to Richard Roberts for the photographs of this memorial.
