EDITORS COMMENTS
Court Oak House, located at 150 Court Oak Road in the affluent south-west Birmingham suburb of Harborne, once served as a Drill Hall for the Warwickshire Army Service Corps during World War I. Built around 1908, this impressive brick building exudes an air of grandeur and history. The photograph, taken in the early 1900s, captures the imposing structure with its tall, arched windows and intricate brickwork. The Drill Hall was a vital part of the community during wartime, providing a training ground for local men who answered the call to serve their country. The Warwickshire Army Service Corps was an auxiliary unit of the British Army, responsible for providing transport services. The Corps was formed in 1908, and its members were drawn from the counties of Warwickshire, Worcestershire, and Gloucestershire. The Drill Hall at Court Oak House provided a central location for training and drills, ensuring that the Corps was prepared for the demands of war. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, revealing a time when the community came together to support the war effort. Today, Court Oak House stands as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women of Harborne and the surrounding areas during World War I. Its historic brick facade continues to grace Court Oak Road, a testament to the rich history of this part of Birmingham.
