This memorial research project documents the servicemen of Pembrey and Burry Port through a methodology that moves beyond traditional record-keeping. What began as a straightforward effort to catalogue names evolved into a deeper, more reflective process — one that seeks to restore visibility to those who were forgotten, overlooked, or never formally commemorated.

The work involved identifying individuals absent from local memorials and tracing those remembered only on headstones scattered across cemeteries worldwide. Each entry has been carefully researched, with updated biographies and verified service details, and digitally linked to memorial pages on Find A Grave. Burial locations have been geo-mapped and integrated into an interactive digital interface, making the ledger both accessible and immersive.

This approach combines fieldwork, archival research, and digital mapping to create a network of remembrance that is both emotionally resonant and historically precise. It builds upon community contributions and existing records, while introducing new layers of context through AI-assisted analysis and spatial storytelling.

The result is a living document one that not only records history but helps to heal it. By restoring dignity and identity to those previously left out of public memory, this project offers a new model for memorialization rooted in truth, innovation, and legacy.
