A display of World War One memorabilia is being held at Carmarthen Library next month.

The exhibition will contain newspapers from that era, with stories about local people who served in the war, and its effect on the community.

There will also be photographs and books from the library’s local collection.

The exhibition is taking place at the county council facility in King Street from July 14.

It is one of many events taking place across the country to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Great War.

Libraries executive board member Cllr Meryl Gravell said: “I am sure this exhibition will be very informative.

“It will be interesting to see the news in and around Carmarthen at the time the country was at war, and to see how it affected local people and communities.”
