Lichfield Mercury - Friday 26 March 1920 - Lichfield. Brewery Company's War Memorial An artistic mural war memorial has been erected in the front of the offices of the Lichfield Brewery Co. Ltd., in memory of the thirteen employees of the company who made the great sacrifice in the war. The memorial consists of a beautiful tablet executed by Messrs. Bridgeman and Sons, Lichfield, and is carved out of Hopton Wood stone, with the lettering filled in with lead, to ensure its permanency. The names comprise thirteen workmen and clerks, ten being old Lichfield men. and three employees at the company's Leicester agency. Headed by the words "Pro Patria," the tablet reads:” In honour of the employees of this Brewery who gave their lives in the Great War, 1914-1919. (names) The unveiling ceremony was performed on Friday Mr. T. Levett-Prinsep (Chairman of the Directors), in the presence of his fellow directors and large number of employees of the company. Mr. Prinsep said he was glad to unveil that tablet as a tribute to the brave men who had given their lives to save Britain and the world from the menace of German invasion, and he felt sure that the tablet would be a constant reminder to those who were left and those in years to come who would see it. of the devotion and self sacrifice which the good fellows whose names were inscribed on the tablet had given such a glorious example.
