On Armistice Day I thought Eye readers might be interested to see picture of the West Midlands Railway Service of Remembrance, held at Moor Street station on Friday 8th.

The event was attended by representatives of all TOCs serving the West Midlands, Network Rail, the emergency services, British Legion and members of the Armed Forces.
The
GWR memorial plaque to the fallen in the Great War, on the concourse at
Moor Street, notes that 25,479 GWR employees served in that war, 33% of
the company's staff. Of those 2,436 lost their lives.
We shall remember.
