Pembrey Factory, Llanelli July 1917 explosion
This community commemorates the four men and two women killed in the Pembrey Factory explosion at Llanelli (sometimes spelt Llanelly) in Carmarthenshire in July 1917. To date, I have traced 5 of the 6 killed - Mildred Owen, Christopher McCarthy, Mary Watson, George Brown and William Edward Miles.The fourth man - John Davies - is proving elusive. Newspaper reports state he was 41 years old. married and that it was his job to fill lead bottles.
