Final Update for Hedd Wyn and Yr Ysgwrn.

It’s time for an update! Mr. Gareth Jones, the Assembly member for Aberconwy wrote to the Assembly’s Heritage Minister, Mr. Alun Ffred Jones.

Petition link: HERE Whilst at the National Eisteddfod a week or so ago I was told some disturbing news. I don’t know if you’ve heard of a Private Ellis Humphrey Evans, 15th Battalion, Royal Welch Fusiliers. He was a son of Yr Ysgwrn, a small farm on the side of a mountain by Trawsfynydd, Meirionydd.
