When war broke out against Germany in 1914, Cardiff & the Vale of Glamorgan was one of the most diverse & eclectic areas of Wales.
Within this 40- or 50-mile stretch of the coast sat three of the most important coal exporting docks in the world
- Cardiff itself, Penarth & Barry. Yet the area remained predominantly rural with farming being the main industry.
Tourism was also important, in the shape of Barry Island & Penarth Pier. How these scattered &, to some extent, isolated communities responded to the war, to the call to arms, is a fascinating social study.
The Cardiff Pals was formed, the docks continued to run
- & even Penarth Pier found itself caught up in the excitement of the moment, being requisitioned by the Army for the duration of the war.
