That's very, very sad Nick. We often assume that casualties are adults, but I expect there are other children named on the memorial. Viv.
The additional names that have been added to our Tree of Life Memorial were found after we had the memorial erected. The original names were of Civilians who lived and died in Birmingham. The latter names lived in Birmingham but were taken to hospitals outside of the county were they later died.Hi Rosie. Don't know why there are small plaques underneath the main panels but I presume it's because some names/stories have been uncovered in more recent times, hence names have been added. (Could of course be wrong, so if anyone has more info please correct me). I notice there was a blank plaque on one side of the memorial, so perhaps this is to allow for later additions as a result of further research?.Viv.
