80th Anniversary of the Defensible Barracks explosion

Tuesday 10th May 2022

AJEX were invited to remember the 80th Anniversary of the Defensible Barracks explosion in Pembroke Dock on Friday 29th April.

People attended from across the UK and viewed the memorial plaque and display. Attendees then travelled to the Defensible Barracks.

A small ceremony took place and people took time to reflect on what happened 80 years ago. Some then travelled to Llanion cemetery, in Pembroke Dock, to view the graves of some of those that died during this tragic event.
 
We Remember 3 Pioneer Corps Jewish refugees, two are buried in Pembroke and one in Willesden.

We will always Remember.
