    It's all too easy, to forget the many lives that have been lost, so we can live in peace and freedom. This memorial is a perfect way to help remind us!

    What a splendid memorial. It's the first time we have found it open. We must never forget the sacrifice of others.

    (Translated by Google) The war memorial was built to commemorate the Civic War Memorial, and it looks amazing to be in the city center. (Original) 전쟁 추념관은 Civic War Memorial 을 추모하기 위해 만든러진 건축물로 도심 안에 있다는 것이 신기해 보입니다

    (Translated by Google) Hall of Memory (1925), is a small building of cult in memory of the citizens of Birmingham fallen in combat during the 1ª World War, and in that also they have been included the fallen ones in the 2ª World War. Inside we find crowns and other forms of representation of the red poppy flower as a symbol of peace that reminds those fallen in combat. On the outside we find four bronze statues representing the armies of land, sea and air, as well as the service provided by women. There is a guestbook where you can leave your comments. It is a building that reminds you of the absurdity of wars.

En su interior encontramos coronas y otras formas de representación de la flor de la amapola roja como un símbolo de paz que recuerda a los caídos en combate. En su exterior encontramos cuatro estatuas de bronce que representan a los ejércitos de tierra, mar y aire, así como el servicio prestado por la mujeres. Existe un libro de visitas donde puedes dejar tus comentarios. Es un edificio que te recuerda lo absurdo de las guerras.

    Allegations by Abergavenny public to gwent police not true. I drive on roads, can you join a round about without stopping, I can now as gwent police have enforced this challenge upon me. I have medical conditions which need monitoring, but gwent police have banned all medical assistance, banned me from contacting emergency services. Illegal immigrants have their human rights, but gwent police pc Nathan Ford and his aggressive plod pal have removed all mine. It this a memory you'd like?

    Very sympathetic and peaceful in the hubbub of the city to have a proper building as a memorial. You can go on and sit for a while to contemplate on the sacrifice made by those who stood up to fear, or simply walk it around and read the stone inscriptions and sign the book.

    The Hall of Memory is a war memorial erected in 1925 in remembrance of the 12,320 citizens of Birmingham who died in World War I. On the outside, there are four statues to symbolically represent the Army, Air Force, Navy and Woman's Service. Inside the structure takes the form of circular hall and the centre, contained in a protective glass is a book of remembrance of those who died. The inside is quiet and peaceful solemn place to honour our war died. The building stands prominently in Centenary square, as such a memorial should.

    Stunning landmark

  • 5/5 Jennifer 4 years ago on Google
    It's a building right in the middle of the city centre, somrwhat out of place... But it's absolutely fitting for remembering the fallen. Serene and brings a tear to your eye at its unique placement.

  • 5/5 Dhiresh M. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice and calm walk around this hall of memory. There are lots of construction going on around the place, soon there will be layout.

  • 5/5 Guy M. 4 years ago on Google
    Finding it open is its biggest problem. But it's a remarkable place which records the men who lost their lives in the Great War. If we don't learn from history and their loss we are doomed to make the same mistakes.

    It is opened from 10 to 16 through Monday to Saturday and it’s free. It is a small but beautiful construction on Centenar Square. On the 12th June 1923, The Prince of Wales laid the foundation stone. He said that the building would stand to "symbolise to generations to come that Birmingham stood for, during a period of great national crisis - work of every kind unflinchingly given, compassion to the sick and wounded, courage and resource in adversity, and, above all, self-sacrifice in the face of death." Opened in 1925, stands as a memorial to the men and women of Birmingham who gave their lives in the First World War, Second World War and in active service since 1945. 12,320 Birmingham citizens died and 35,000 were wounded in the First World War. Built of Portland Stone, and constructed almost entirely by Birmingham craftsmen, it was paid by public donations. Around the exterior on granite pedestals stand four larger than life bronze statues by local artist Albert Toft. They represent the Army, Navy, Air Force and Women's Services. Visitors enter the Hall of Memory through huge cast bronze doors. Inside the Hall, a sarcophagus-shaped dais of Siena marble sits in the centre of the marble floor. On top of the shrine rests a glass and bronze casket containing two books: the First World War and Second World War Roll of Honour.

    (Translated by Google) Sightseeing around the city, we find this monument in memory of citizens of Brimingham fallen in the 1st and 2nd World War. You can enter inside and see wreaths of flowers with each of the names of each of them. Emotional to see.
