January 17, 1903
A proposal has been made to provide some simple but permanent and lasting record of the names of those Redditch volunteers and yeomen who responded so readily to the call for volunteers in the time of England's stress about two-and-a-half-years ago.
It is intended to be as much a memorial as an appreciative tribute to gallantry. The matter was first mooted at a meeting at the Institute some few weeks back.
It is suggested that the memorial shall take the form of a brass tablet upon which will be engraved a brief record of the cause which led to the call for volunteers, the names of those who responded and the work they did.
This it is proposed to place in some conspicuous position at the Institute which appears to be the only place suitable.
