This public park in Barbourne was opened in 1922 to commemorate the heroism of the Worcester Regiment at the 1914 Battle of Gheluvelt in Belgium. The row of houses inside the park just beyond the gates were built to house war veterans. http://www.roll-of-honour.com/Worcestershire/WorcesterGheluveltPark.html
