Military Cemetery
Situated in the area of the town known as Llanion, the cemetery opened in about 1860 for burials connected with The Royal Dockyard.
It was handed over to the military authorities in 1865 for use by regiments and naval personnel based in the garrison town. Forty World War One graves are located in the cemetery together with 33 burials from the 1939/45 conflict. These include 17 servicemen killed on April 28, 1942 in an explosion at the Defensible Barracks during a mine disposal course.
Four of the graves are Australian airmen who were killed on 19th July, 1942 when their Wellington aircraft crash at Milford Docks. Last to be buried here was Second Lieutenant A. H. Baxter who was killed on February 2, 1955.
