Solihull Observer online; report (dated 29/5/2018), headlined 'Knowle memorial to be renovated to mark end of World War I centenary'. (The report related to the Knowle Society's announcement that the ‘forgotten memorial’ in the Parish Churchyard was 'set to be made the main site of the commemorative efforts', that would include the transformation of the original memorial (which was devoid of casualties' names) 'from a small monument with dilapidated stonework and hidden by bushes into a historic centrepiece with a full list of those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country'. The Society's plans were stated to include the professional cleaning of the original memorial; the installation of new stones, bearing the names of those who died, and of oak gates 'to provide a clearer view for commemorative occasions'. The report also mentioned the Society's appeal for relatives of the Fallen to contact them, to ensure that names of all the villagers who died in the war 'are on the Roll of Honour to be carved on the new monument'). https://solihullobserver.co.uk/news/knowle-memorial-to-be-renovated-to-mark-end-of-world-war-i-centenary-6681/

The plinths were then installed on Friday 2 November 'just in time for the grand unveiling on 4 November...']. https://www.thomasbragg.co.uk/knowle-memorial-gets-a-fitting-makeover/
