Stourbridge War Memorial - World War I 1914-1918

Many thanks to Ken Dockerty of the Stourbridge British Legion for providing the names below. Ken's two uncles are amongst them and the list reveals other examples of brothers who had perished. It's a very sobering thought that the vast majority of these young men were aged 17 to 25.

The list has been compiled from a photocopy of an article in the County Express newspaper, dated Saturday March 3rd, 1923, when the memorial was built from public subscriptions. Our apologies if there are any spelling errors as the copy is difficult to read in parts. We have now had 2 cases now where a relative did not appear in the listings below but in fact they actually are listed on the memorial. Please contact me if you would like me to check a name for you.
