Greetings from Australia.
My grandmother's uncle from Smethwick, Sapper H Grew, Royal Engineers was killled on the Western Front on 31 May 1917. His death notice in the local paper "The Smethwick Telephone" states he was formerly employed at the Rover Works Coventry.
Would anyone know if there was a memorial at the factory for those KIA in WW1 and if the memorial still exists.
He is listed in Smethwick's Book of Remembrance held by Smethwick Library and on CWGC web site.
Smethwick's war memorial at Victoria Park does not list names.
Many thanks for any help.
