As part of the  events, marking the Centenary of the First World War ( 1914-1918), a special service to honour the overseas-born  Victoria Cross heroes took place at the National Memorial Arboretum on 5th March. A total  of 628 Victoria Crosses were awarded of which 145 were for the soldiers who came from the then British Empire, USA, Japan, Germany and Ukraine, who fought for the country not theirs. Each soldier was remembered on a specially designed Commemorative Paving Stone. Eric Pickles MP, the Community Secretary, in  welcoming the guests, including the Prime Minister David Cameron, described the event as " a small act of gratitude  for those who defended   the liberty and freedom from a country that respects different faiths and where bravery knows no national  barrier".

The Mayor of Solihull, Cllr Kate Wild and Satinder Kaur Taunque OBE, West Midlands’ Deputy Lieutenant, were applauded as role models, as part of International Women’s Day.
