Pembroke World War One Project - November 1st Pembroke Town Hall

In February the Pembroke & Monkton Local History Society launched the Pembroke WW1 Project to research the effect of the Great War on Pembroke.  On Saturday last they held a follow up event in Pembroke Town Hall, an event sponsored by Pembroke Town Council.  During the course of this year the Society has assembled an exhibition about the impact of the War locally which can be seen in Pembroke Town Hall until the end of November.  At Saturday’s event this was supplemented with displays from other Heritage groups – the Royal Artillery Association, Pembroke Civic Trust, West Wales Maritime Heritage Society and the Dyfed Archaeological Trust.

 It was a busy morning with two speakers – George Lewis, President of the Pembroke & Monkton Local History Society, and Alice Pyper from the Dyfed Archaeological Trust (DAT).
