    Centenary of the Great War - August 4 2014

    Hello Everyone! I'm new at this (so please bear with me while I find my way around!!). I too think it's a great idea for Birmingham to do something and would like to be involved somehow, although I'm not sure how. Updating the 'Roll of Honour' would be a great start. I would love to know...
