The aims of the Redditch Local History Society are to research, document and publish the history and heritage of Redditch and the surrounding area.  

Since 2014, the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of World War 1, members of the society have researched the impact of the war as depicted through local newspapers and recorded on local memorials.

On the following pages you will find the records of casualties as recorded on local memorials.
