G.E.C War Memorial

[subotone]

Hi

Does anyone have any information relating to the G.E.C war memorial that was outside the Magnet Center in Erdington. I am trying to find out when it disappeared, was it stolen or moved elsewhere and who was recorded on it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have come across a picture of the G.E.C war memorial which looks like it was taken in the 60's.

I remember this memorial well, I used to drive past it regularly in the early 1990's then one day it was missing. It was at a time when 'scrap' metal prices were at a high and as I recall it was made of Brass or Bronze and the assumption at the time is that it was stolen by a thief. I visited the local scrap dealers in an attempt to find it but never did. Such a pity that it should be desecrated in that way if it were stolen.
