Erdington War Memorial

Hi there, gang. Do any of you well versed Brummies know of a war memorial in Erdington? Was there one that has now gone? Thanks muchly.
 
The WFA did a search a few years back and could not find one but a few memorials in the Churchyard
 
Thanks, Cromwell

I am doing a bit of research for a pal and said I would look here. I know there are some gravestones in the cemetary, but I was thinking more of a memorial to all who fell. Seems strange, as my investigations have lead me to believe that Erdington was independant from Brum in the early 20th century. Seems funny there wouldn't be a dedicated memorial, at least to those who lost their lives in WW1 who were from Erdington. Anyhow, thanks again, mate.
 
Thanks, Billc

Seems this guy has a similar problem! I lived in Erdington (Pype Hayes, actually) from 1957 (born in Saltley) until 1980, when I moved to Tamworth. I can't remember a dedicated memorial. Seems a bit strange, though. We might have expected there to be one. Thanks again.
