Some news that could make things more difficult. The plaque was brought in to the church 5 years ago. It must have come out of the skip sometime before that.

See Post 100 for the spreadsheet. There are details on there not duplicated on your page and it should be possible to cut and paste from there to speed things up.

I know but I passed it earlier this year and it seemed to have a change of ownership and no longer the ASC. I looked at the Facebook page this morning and they haven't posted for almost a year. On the other hand there are still events scheduled for the place on...

It's not going to help. The book we'd need to see is The log book for the boys department that ran from 1902-40 and it's closed - 100 year rule.

I've written to ask when it came in to the church. I doubt I'll see the answer this week. I think there are a lot of possibilities that it could have come from depending on whether the skip came from the original source (Closed or refurbished building) or second hand (something kept by a member...

For those of you that would like to know where the skip was, this comes from a post by Balsall Heath Local History Society on Facebook. "The person who is looking into it now is from Wylde Green. He says it was brought into a church other than his own and the person who left it there was not a...

Edit. The collated document attached below gives details about the men named on the memorial . As BHF discovers any further information it will be recorded on this thread in a single post dedicated to the named soldier for future reference. Thank you to all those contributing to this research...

Sorry I couldn't put this up yesterday but it's the collated material that I was provided on Tuesday. It took a little work to make it work on a pdf this morning.

Currently the only attachment I'm seeing on postings on the pc version is as an image. That's why I haven't tried that. It does seem to vary depending on platform. I'm working on tablet this morning and the options seem different.

Let's see what we get here. I have posted this in other places and found that one of those has been cross posted elsewhere. Add to that, there are members of the Balsall Heath local history society looking and presumably the man who asked them for help will be looking. I shall try to keep...

I doubt that it would be St Paul's but their list was transferred to the new church centre and a new memorial made. I can probably take a look at that when I'm done here but I doubt that would be it.

Unfortunately, I don't think we're going to get those answers. As I remember it the person who found it turned it in at a church in wylde green and left without giving more detail than that they had found it in a skip.

Apologies for not having caught up sooner. The spreadsheet did have some details of profession, along with rank and regiment but I will not be able to access it until tomorrow. The problem I have is in transferring the material to something I can post here or elsewhere. The sheet is so wide that...

Balsall Heath Road was Stone, Clifton Rd was Giles.

I have also got lists of rank and regiment. The list does not include religion and probably wouldn't have detail if it did. I'd initially thought this might be churches. Somebody's first suggestion was St Barnabas. The next thing there would be to find out what has closed recently enough or...

I have the rest of the detail on a spreadsheet. As such it is difficult to post it here. Single columns are easy enough. This is a list of the addresses I've been given. 111 Brunswick Road, Sparkbrook 42 Howard St. Smethwick 68 St. Paul's Road Balsall Heath 124 Anderton Park Road Moseley 68...

That's why I chose to post this here. I suppose if it has worked once, it can work again.

This memorial was found by someone in a skip and has been passed to other people who are trying to find out where it came from so that it can be relocated. Although most of the people listed come from Balsall Heath there are some on there from Bordesley and Kings Heath. From the picture itself...

Virgin moved twice. First to Bull St. then across the roundabout to the Megastore on Corporation St. I think they changed logos around the time of the second move.
