Market Street, Stourbridge, West Midlands, DY8 1AQ
St. Thomas’s War Memorial is set within the small north chapel and consists of two long wooden panels of impressive length, each containing two columns of names. The total is 142 and they are listed by Regiment and Corps, starting with the Worcesters and ending with the Machine Gun Corps. Each name is followed by the date of death. Within the hooded top of the main panel is a wreath surrounding the letters RIP. There are two very fine individual memorials to men of the Worcesters, which are set in coloured mosaic and commemorate John Reading who was killed in action in 1916 and Eddie Williams who had been a POW in Turkey but was killed in a Stourbridge road accident in 1919. The dedication reads:
THEY DIED FOR US
1914 IN THE GREAT WAR 1918
