Carmarthenshire, located in south-west Wales, boasts a rich military history and heritage that dates back to the Iron Age. Following Celtic settlement, the region experienced Roman occupation, Viking raids, and Norman and English invasion. Numerous fortifications, including Iron Age hill forts, Roman forts, medieval castles, and Civil War defences, can be found throughout Carmarthenshire. The Second World War and the Cold War have also left their mark, with relics and memorials scattered across the county. The military heritage of Carmarthenshire extends beyond its fortifications, encompassing the contributions of its sons and daughters who have distinguished themselves militarily, its munitions factories (which were the largest in Wales), and the numerous memorials to conflicts. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about Carmarthenshire's remarkable military history.
