On Saturday 4 October, 2014 (for one day only), myself and my mate, Dave Vaux, will be putting on a display about the 1st and 2nd Birmingham Battalions (14th & 15th Royal Warwickshires) training period in Sutton Park.
100 years ago on Monday morning, 5 October 1914, two special trains pulled out of New Street Station. There destination was Sutton Coldfield and on the two trains were 1000 Birmingham non-manual workers who had been recruited into the 1st Birmingham Battalion.
The display is mainly pictures showing the various stages of their training until the two battalions left Sutton to continue their training in Wensleydale, Yorkshire, on 26 June 1915.
If you fancy it, pop along have a look and say hello
Cheers
Terry
