The comments by Norton suggest that he was not sure whether the place was under demolition, derelict or bomb damaged. I don't think it was bombed but it does suggest demolition.Right Stoney Lane Cong. Church was next door to the Drill Hall (later TA Barracks) talked about earlier. On the 1938 map but it has gone by the 1952 map. Moseley Road Church is still marked on the 1952 map - not sure if this was ruins or not. There is a 1956 photo here http://www.photobydjnorton.com/ChurchRuncornRdClr.jpg

Just to say that it (the answer) was never held backThis may be irrelevant now that the origin of the plaque may be about to be unveiled (interesting! ), but I think the church that you are referrring to as demolished, Viv, is the Anglican church of Christ Church, Sparkbrook. Church of Christ, Moseley Road, was United Reformed. Awaiting the answer!
Harry Boucher was aged 19 when he was killed in France, the date being designated as the 11th June 1918. He had been reported missing, and had been in France for three months, as above.In the Birmingham Daily Post for July 1918 Harry is posted as missing. The list says he died in June, so maybe later than July they received the sad news. RIP
