100 years of the Royal British Legion A message from Janis Jones: “For a number of years my husband and I have been the Poppy Appeal organisers for the area. I have been asked to talk about the British Legion on November 9. I have made enquiries at the library and found that the Kidwelly Branch opened on May 1, 1932 – no further information can be found. I am looking for relatives of the first committee members. The names I have are president Dr T R Griffiths (the Mayor) of Henblas; local secretary Mr C V Williams of Brynteg; vice-president Mrs Smart of Mountain View and the local Commandant Mrs P R Squire of Kymer Villa. Any information would be helpful and interesting to my talk. Please contact myself on 01554 832117 as soon as possible. Many thanks.” Fireworks Friday at Mynyddygarreg Hall. Gates open from 6pm.
