The county of Carmarthenshire has an impressive military history
and heritage which stretches back into the Iron Age. Following
Celtic settlement, this part of South West Wales witnessed Roman
occupation, Viking raids and Norman and English invasion. Remains
of fortifications can be seen in Carmarthenshire from Iron Age
hillforts and Roman forts to mediaeval castles and Civil War
defences. The Second World War and the Cold War have also left
relics. The military heritage also encompasses prisoner of war
camps and military hospitals, sons and daughters who distinguished
themselves militarily, local battalions, Pembrey’s munitions
factories which were the largest in Wales, and memorials to
conflicts. This book will be of interest to all those who would
like to know more about Carmarthenshire’s remarkable military
history.
