WAR veterans from Rubery have gone overseas to pay their respects to soldiers who lost their lives in battle.
Members of the village's Royal British Legion went to Ypres, in Belgium, on Friday to take part in a memorial service.
They planned to lay their new standard and a wreath at the Menigne Gate, the entrance to a cemetery.
The names of the 80,000 dead are listed here by regiment and all died in the First World War.
Before the party left, branch chairman Les Astill told the Advertiser: "It has been our ambition to take our new standard to this place and I am proud to be doing it."
