St Augustine's Edgbaston War Memorial
St Augustine's Edgbaston War Memorial
This community links together the men remembered on the War memorial at St Augustine's Church, Edgbaston, Birmingham. All of the 78 WW1 soldiers are remembered here with the exception of Ralph Amos for whom I could find no evidence. Although I have no connection with St Augustine's church, I do have a loose connection to some of the soldiers remembered. Stanley Bell and Fred Sanders were first cousins of my grandfather and George Barker Smith was married to my grandmother. In addition a number of the men lived in Westfield Road, Edgbaston, which was where my grandfather lived so I guess he would have known some of them.
