Rerun57 Posted 3 September , 2019 Share Posted 3 September , 2019 I would be grateful if anyone could tell me where men would have enlisted in Carmarthen in April 1917. I think that these would have been reservists coming of age and others in response to call up papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 3 September , 2019 Share Posted 3 September , 2019 (edited) Recruiting at the beginning of the war was at the Barracks in Carmarthen. I don't know if it was different by 1917. Steve John's book "Carmarthen in the Great War" probably has the answer for you in it. Edit: Newspaper reports from about 1916 refer to the recruiting office in Lammas Street, which ends about a quarter of a mile from the barracks. I thought perhaps they referred to the same place, but one report (28/1/1916) states that men ..." marched from the barracks to the recruiting office in Lammas-street...". So, clearly, they were two separate places. Edited 3 September , 2019 by Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
