ⓘWhat do the D1–D5 confidence tiers mean?›
- D1A single attributed public source (museum, council, Historic England, CWGC, mapping data).
- D2Two or more independent public sources corroborate the same facts.
- D3A named coordinator or local reviewer has confirmed the public-source account.
- D4A named observer has personally visited and documented the site — photographs, inscriptions, condition.
- D5An archive or institution has provided written documentation supporting the entry.
A higher tier means more corroborating evidence, not automatic historical certainty. The Discovery layer does not replace archival verification.
The Hall of Memory in Centenary Square, an octagonal domed shrine of Portland stone opened in 1925, is Birmingham's civic war memorial. It honours the men and women of the city who died in the First World War, the Second World War and in service since; within the shrine, a bronze and glass casket holds the Rolls of Honour of both World Wars.

What this page does not claim

- Names of individuals are recorded in the Rolls of Honour held within; this discovery record does not reproduce them.
