THE OLD CONTEMPTIBLES

You can find The Old Contemptibles on Edmund Street, within a short stroll of Corporation Street and Colmore Row. Our name honours the First World War heroes, the British Expeditionary Force led by General Sir John French. Kaiser Wilhelm II ordered his men to exterminate French's 'contemptible little army', leading to the nickname that we now proudly remember and which also stuck to the 1914 Star medal, The Old Contemptibles' medal.
