On Sunday 3 November 2002 the Society arranged a special service at Kidderminster on the Severn Valley Railway, conducted by the Reverend James Symonds. The Chief Royal Engineer, Lieutenant General Sir Scott Grant, KCB, dedicated the Roll of Honour and Books of Remembrance, commemorating the 354 military railwaymen of the Corps of Royal Engineers who died during WW2.
During the annual Severn Valley Railway Remembrance Sunday service held on 9 November 2003 the names of 15 casualties from the Roll of Honour were read aloud in an act of remembrance.
