One of the most useful guides to Pembrokeshire's military history is giving local communities an insight into the events which shaped the future of these towns and villages. Volume two of 'A Guide to the Military History of Pembrokeshire' gives a chronological summary of key military events in 10 Pembrokeshire communities, including Templeton and Llawhaden. Its publication comes two years after the launch of the first guide, which records the military history of St. Florence and nine other communities. The project was initiated by the community-led local development partnership, PLANED, through its European Union LEADER+ programme. It was aware of the enormous interest local communities had in their history and established a Military History Working Group, chaired by the eminent Pembrokeshire historian, Roger Thomas, military support officer for English Heritage. Joan Asby, co-ordinator of PLANED, said the group recognised that a chronological summary of key events would give communities access to their military past. "Pembrokeshire has a military and maritime significance which has long been recognised, but much is described only in history books and is frequently not easily recognised on the ground,' she said. "As part of this ongoing project to raise public awareness of this aspect of Pembrokeshire's history, from Civil Wars to the Cold War, local historians, with the help of members of the community, have continued compiling further fact sheets.' The guide was unveiled at Templeton by Marilyn Lewis, director of CADW. Roger Thomas gave a lecture on the military history of Pembrokeshire, highlighting sites of historic interest around the county. Templeton Heritage Group organised an exhibition on the military history of Templeton to accompany the event. The launch was followed by a tour of Templeton airfield and nuclear bunker.
