Pembroke Dock (Llanion) Cemetery, Pembrokeshire

Burgums lived here, or nearby.


LLANION CEMETERY, in Pembroke Docks, is a burial ground for military personnel. It is the only dedicated military cemetery in Wales. It was opened in about 1860, the date on its earliest graves. Forty Commonwealth service personnel who participated in the First World War and 33 from the Second World War are buried there. The last burial was in 1955. A focal point for commemoration events is the Cross of Sacrifice within the cemetery grounds.

The cemetery was forced to close to the public in 2013, when a 20-foot-deep sinkhole opened up around the grave of one of the deceased servicemen. The incident is thought to have been caused by water erosion of the limestone beneath the soldier's grave. The cemetery partially reopened in January 2014 with the affected area fenced off but, following repairs which included filling the sinkhole with clay-cement grouting, the cemetery was fully reopened in April 2014. The cemetery is owned by the Ministry of Defence and managed by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation group.

The burial listed below is interesting because Mary Jane Burgum was not a military person. She was the housekeeper of William Burgum according to the 1911 Census living at Beach Road, Llanreath, at Pembroke Dock. A year later they were married. William had previously been a Private Royal Marine.
