Description

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 hill forts and Roman forts to medieval castles and Civil War defences. The Second World War and the Cold War have also left relics. The military heritage also encompasses the county’s sons and daughters who have distinguished themselves militarily, its munitions factories (which were the largest in Wales) and the many memorials to conflicts.

This book will be of interest to all those who would like to know more about Carmarthenshire’s remarkable military history.
