with Alice Pyper and Ed Davies (Centre) of Dyfed Archaeology
Last Saturday, 9th February, Dyfed Archaeological
Trust along with Planed held an open meeting at the Picton Centre, Haverfordwest
to discuss the Great War in Pembrokeshire and to launch an appeal for
information: WW1 and its aftermath have been little studied in Pembrokeshire. There
was much interest and a large number turned up for the event.
Ed Davies of Dyfed Archaeology opened proceedings. He stated that CADW has funded a scoping
project to assess the impact of the war in this region. It is an attempt to
find out what remains are still visible, the location of the camps, the impact
on our agriculture and industry. Dyfed
Archaeology is looking at the physical remains while the NLW is collecting
documentary evidence. Planed is
coordinating events.
This is a project that we in the Pembroke &Monkton Local
History Society are becoming involved in, hoping that if any of you can supply
information you will get in touch with us.
I am hoping too that Dyfed Archaeology will stage an event here in
Pembroke which will give you the opportunity to discover more and contribute.
