More about this scene
The war memorial stands on a site formerly occupied by a stable, a coach house and two single-storey houses. It was formally opened by Lt Sackville Owen of the 1st Pembrokeshire Yeomanry in 1921 to commemorate 131 local men who perished in the Great War. More than 3000 local people witnessed the event, causing a reporter from the Tenby Observer to remark that this was a unique ceremony in the long history of the town, as it had never happened before and was unlikely to happen again.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them."- Laurence Binyon, For The Fallen
