Llanelli Memorial Figures - Carmarthenshire, Wales. - World War I Memorials and Monuments on Waymarking.com

At the time of the Great War, Llanelli was a hugely industrious town, by far the largest in West Wales. Many men from all over Great Britain came here to work and live, and the population swelled. The Town therefore played a hugely important role in supplying recruits to all three services, army, navy and air force, as well as creating the backbone of several local units, the 15th Welsh (Carmarthen Pals), the 4th Welsh (Territorials), the Welsh Field Company, Royal Engineers (Territorials), and the Pembroke Yeomanry. Llanelli has many War Memorials, and the villages of Furnace, Bynea, New Dock, Felinfoel etc all have their own memorials, but all come under the umbrella of Llanelli. Over 800 men from Llanelli lost their lives during the Great War.
