For a relatively small industrial town in the heart of the Black Country, Tipton suffered a heavy loss of its young men in the Great War; it was not alone in this.
In 1914 when war was declared, Tipton was a predominantly working-class town of about 33,000 inhabitants, dominated by coal mining and the metal industries. As well as sending its young men to fight, Tipton played a significant part in production for the war economy.
This web site attempts to perpetuate the memory of the Tipton folk who lost their lives in this conflict, and stands tribute to their sacrifice.
