ROYAL ENGINEERS
OF CARMARTHENSHIRE
WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES
IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR
1939 - 1945.
Fixed to the front wall of the Guildhall in Carmarthen are two marble plaques, which commemorate the men of the County who died while serving with the Royal Engineers during both World Wars. This commemoration began during the First World War, as the Royal Engineers had their own Welsh Field Company, which served with the 53rd (Welsh) Division at Gallipoli and in Palestine, which contained the local Territorial Company of the Royal Engineers. This custom continued during the Second World War, when all of the known men of the County who died serving with the Royal Engineers were commemorated on a new plaque- the Carmarthen Royal Engineers of World War Two Memorial.
