Hi

I have just come across an article from the Birmingham Mail (https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/local-news/missing-birmingham-first-world-war-5120230) regarding the GKN War Memorial. It appears that after the factory closed down in the 1980's the plaque disappeared. It turned up at a car boot sale and was bought by a local man Greg Wigg for £230.00. GKN were contacted and bought the memorial which is now on display at their Redditch Head Office. Great that at least one memorial has been saved well done Greg.
